LONDON, Sept. 16.
The All Black team to play Midland Counties on Thursday is as follows:—
Full-back: G. Gilbert (West Coast). Three-quarters: G. F. Hart C. J. Oliver N. A. Mitchell (Canterbury) (Canterbury) (Southland) Five-eighths: D. Solomon J. R. Page (Auckland) (Wellington) Half-back: B. S. Sadler (Wellington). Forwards:
J. E. Manchester (Canterbury), A. Lambo'irne (Wellington), D. Dalton (Hawke’s Bay), G. T. Adkins (South Canterbury), R. M. McKenzie (Manawatu), R. R. King (West Coast), J. Best (Marlborough), C. Pepper (Auckland).
Hadley had a fairly comfortable day. The “Evening News” says: “The New Zealanders gave a great exhibition of an art which is badly needed for the revival of English Rugby—namely, quick, clean heeling. Every man in the pack keeps his eye on the ball, and accordingly the ball is never held up, except intentionally, and never clumsily heeled. This is the rule rather than a novelty. The five-eighths are going to make the team exceedingly dangerous on attack.”
