FIRST TEST

Three Men Unavailable [Per Press Association] PALMERSTON N.,- August 3. No plan of campaign has been formulated for the week which the Springbok team will spend at training quarters near Masterton prior to the first test. Though there have been no casualties during the New Zealand tour, Du Toit, Broodryck and Sheriff will be prevented by earlier injuries from playing in the first test against New Zealand, while Watt and Lawton are also doubtful. The remainder of the team are fit. Questioned regarding the progress of the Springboks, Mr D< Villiers, assistant-manager, statedthat Du Toit, who has been on the injured list since hurt in the match at Sydney, will probably be able to play in two weeks’ time. He may have a practice run to-day. ALL BLACKS’ MANAGER. WELLINGTON, August 2. Mr J. T. Burrows, of Christchurch, a member of the New Zealand Rugby Selection Committee, was appointed by the executive of the New Zealand Rugby Union to-night to act as manager of the All Blacks during the 1 raining at Otaki.
