Car Springs Snap Under Rugby Pressure
B Although the North Auckland g n Rugby team did not beat the * Jj Springboks, a section of the j j heavy brigade proved too much i a for the springs yesterday. For , J the trip to Auckland, most of the j 1 plovers were accommodated in a a a, , s d bus, but the manager, selector a 2 and three forwards chose a taxi J | as their means of conveyance, i b Travelling companions in the g 2 back seat were Sam Alison, W. | J Cooper and C. White—the three « • giants of the pack, aggregating in g l weight 50 stone. Like the Auck- 2 J land forwards are expected to do jj j in the sacks on the mill at Eden i 1 Park this afternoon, the back | 2 springs of the yehicle groaned J J under the six hundredweight s i ballast, and before Kaiwaka was \ ,2 reached, both had snapped. jj
