RUGBY Biigby patrons arc promised two great attractions at Carisbrook, whore the lour leading teams will bo in action. Tlie result of these games should have a great bearing on the premiership. It is doubtful if the senior competition has ever been in a more interesting position Ilian at present, ns there is only two points difference between tho six leading teams. At J .80 tho old-time rivals Alhambra and Kaikorai will meet, and this should provide a closely-contested game. The Alhambra lias" shown great improvement us the season lias advanced, and by their recent displays have proved to be one of the toughest propositions in the competition. The Kaikorai has also been showing good form. At II o’clock the ’Varsity A will meet the Pirates, and this is expected to provide a great game. Tho ’Varsity will bo represented by its full strength, while Pirates will have its strongest team in the field for some Saturdays. Jackman and Mallocb should considerably strengthen the Blacks’ side.
