RUGBY FOOTBALL
KIWIS V ENGLAND LONDON, November 21. Bond has been dropped from the New Zealand team to play England at Twickenham on Saturday. Saxton will captain the team. The inclusion of Rhind and Simpson should help to infuse into the pack the dash' which has been missing from the last two games. A rest from hard travelling will also help the team. Little fault can be found with the selection, though Argus might be considered unlucky, in being left out. However, there were close claims for two or three places. Though Saxton has not shown top form on either of his appearances he should be much fitter on Saturday and his experience will be a great asset. It is difficult to assess the chances of the side, which played the best game to date against the best opposition, but with four days in which to prepare for the game on Saturday, the Kiwis’ play generally should be sharpened up and they can be expected to put- up a good performance.
