ALTERING THE PROGRAMME.
Sydney, July 21. A motion will be submitted to the Rugby Union to-morrow night suggesting in the event of Australia losing the second test match at Brisbane, tiie third test at present arranged at Sydney should be abandoned, ' and a third match against New South Wales substituted. The New Zealanders left for Brisbane to-night. Hunter, the N.Z. skipper, is suffering from an attack of influenza, and Mynott is staying behind in Sydney to look after him. Coleman was able to get away with the team to Queensland. Coleman received a nasty wound on the back of his head, necessitating several stitches. He is progressing satisfactorily. Swannell attributes the Australian debacle to bad selection, la the tight scrummages the teams were pretty evenly matched, the advantages in the r open and line-out play being with New Zealand ; but in the back division New Zealand were streets ahead of their opponents.
