TOUR OF SPRINGBOKS

THIRTY-TWO PLAYERS TO BE SENT Onlted Press Association—Bv Electric Telesraph - Copyright (Received September 3, 5.5 p.m.) CAPETOWN. September 2. The Rugby Board's decision to send thirty-two players on the New Zealand and Australian tour is due to the realisation that there will be no easy matches, and that the tour will be more strenuous ks it includes two countries. Tire Wallabies found that in South Africa five tests were too many, as it meant pitting the same players against each other. Tire South African Board considers that the proposed seven tests in Australia and New Zealand would not be conducive to a pleasant tour. REFEREES APPOINTED Mr A. B. Rowlands, of Timaru, has been appointed by the Management Committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union to referee the match Australia v. North Otago, at Oamaru, next Wednesday. Mr J. Stewart, of Oamaru, will referee the match, All Blacks v. South Canterbury, in Timaru next Wednesday. Geraldine have defaulted to Celtic in the Harris Cup match set down to be played to-morrow.
