AUSSIES v. SPRINGBOKS.
The news that South Africa, intends | to invite an Australian Rugby team \ to tour the Union in the 1931 season 4 hardly comes as a surprise, for the Springboks have been coquetting with the idea for some time. As the Australians will have had the best possible tuning up in their matches with the British team in Australia, the tour should be an outstanding success and go far to -settle the question of the world’s Rugby championship, which New Zealand and the Afrikanders both claim. South Africa plays the old-fashioned solid game. This fact will be borne in mind when the speed-obsessed Australian selectors face the task of choosing the Waratah side.
