THE NEXT SPRINGBOKS
POWERFUL TEAM AVAILABLE An Australian residing in South Africa who knows his Rugby sends to the Sydney Referee valued views on the prospective merits of the Springbok team to visit Australia and Now Zealand. He states:—"lt is very early yet to talk Rugby, but the Rugby Union people here arc getting busy early this vear, because the Springbok team for Australia and New Zealand for 1937 is to be selected during this season. _ "Judging by last year's talent, it is considered that South Africa will bo able to put into the field a magnificent pack of forwards, a brilliant halfback—perhaps the best in the world—in Craven; some brilliant wingers, and a splendid fullback. Tt is doubtful whether they will be strong at centrcthreequarter, but that remains to be scon."
