The Australian side is representative of its best. With the exception of Allman in the threequarter line, who hails from Queensland, the team is an all Sydney one. The visitors have left no stone unturned To be physically fit for an expected strenuous contest. They have been training assiduously and expect to turn the tables on the home side. The ground is in good order and a dry ball will give Finn, who is the pivot of their attack, every opportunity to put his fastmoving backs in action. The hor*j tide has undergone some changes. Poison replaces Garrat at half. Stoimont, who is not available owing to injuries, will be replaced by J. O'Brien, - of Devonport. The local front row is now: O'Brien, Townsend, O'Brien. Delgresso is not available, and Godick, of Devonport, will replace him in the reserves. The ground is in perfect condition and there is every reason to. expect the best game of the season. The main fixture will commence at 2.45 . p.m. I
