RUGBY FOOTBALL
BRITAIN V. MANAWHENUA
UNFAVOURABLE CONDITIONS
(By Telegraph—Press Association)
PALMERSTON N., This Day. A heavy deluge yesterday, followed by a steady downpour tally this morning does not promise well for the match Britain versus Manawhenua. Theye are now indications of the weather improving, but the ground will be heavy and greasy. It was deemed advisable to postpone two curtain raisers which had been arranged. Both teams take the field as originally selected. Prentice leads the visitors and Galpin the local ■ side. They are members of the opposing scrums. The wretched conditions may curtail the crowd somewhat, but the main stand 'is rapidly filling. Enthusiasts country districts are pouring into town by car and train. A small band of keen supporters were assembled at the entrance to the gates an hour before they were due to open.
