RUGBY FOOTBALL.

MATCH AGAINST WAIKATO.

AUCKLAND TEAM REARRANGED.

Alterations linve been mn.de in the Auckland representative team which is to play Waikato at Hamilton to-day. R. Stuart, who was selected as centre-threequarter, has injured his ankle, while Knight, the lock, is suffering from influenza. The new threequarter line will be Caughey, Jamieson and Milliken, while Farmer and Haslam will be the five-eighths. Newdick replaces Knight in the scrum.

The rearrangement of the bucks ooes not look a happy one on paper. .lamieson's place is at first five-eighths and > c iB. absunlly fitted in at centre. Haslam and Farmer do not appear to be a happy combination at five-eighths. However, Hadley, who will captain the team, .will no doubt change the rearguard if results are not achieved. Byerley, of Technical Old Boys, replrces Farmer as emergency back, while Mcpherson remains as reserve forward. The team will leave by motor at 9.30 this morning. PRIMARY SCHOOLS' MATCHES.
