SEVEN ALTERATIONS NEW ZEALAND'S FIFTEEN POWERFUL AUSTRALIAN SIDE The New Zealand team has undergone several changes from that which was defeated in the first test, match at Sydney last Saturday. It is interesting to note that Lilburne has replaced Collins at fullback. Other alterations in the back line are that Holder goes on the wing in place of BullookDouglas, while Griffiths is again associated with Page at five-eighths, instead of Oliver. Leeson, Barry, King and Mataira, replace Lambourne, Knight, McKenzie and Mahoney in the forwards. Of the. Queenslanders, McLean, Hayes, Lewis, B<jnis and Birmingham played in the Australian side which won the first test. All are high-grade footballers, especially the backs, and Bonis, who is an adept at hooking the ball. In connection with the All Blacks' match against an Australian fifteen it will be observed that the latter is a combination almost as powerful as the first test side. No fewer than 11 of the players were in the team which defeated New Zealand last Saturday, the four who were not included being Vincent, Clark, Doneley and Ritter.
