ALL BLACK TRIALS

OVER 100 PLAYERS NOMINATED WARDS LIGHTER THAI! SPRiiiGSOKS Over 100 players have been nominated by the provincial Selectors hi various parts of New Zealand to take part in the North Island-South Island game at Wellington on July 10 and in the trial matches at Wellington on July 12, 14, and. 17, preparatory to the Selection of the New'Zealand team to meet the Springboks. As considerably more than the 60 or 70 required fbr the trials have been nominated, the first step will be a weeding-out of the nominations. The selectors will then lie required to pick the North and South Island teams for the first day’s play, after which the selectors will probably be determined by the form of the moment. Perhaps the most striking feature of the nominations is the fact that few really heavy forwards have been 'recommended. The great weight of the Springboks has evidently caused little concern to the provincial selectors responsible for the nominations, and no deliberate attempt has been made to secure the biggest men in the various districts. The players nominated are:—■
