SPRINGBOKS REACH DUNEDIN

STRONG TEAM SELECTED By Telegraph—Press Association DUNEDIN, September 9 The Springboks arrived in Dunedin this evening to play the 13th match of the New Zealand tour against Otago on Saturday. They were received informally by the Mayor and the president of the Otago Union (Dr. Arnold Perry) who played for Otago in the match against the 1921 team. The manager (Mr P. W. Day) said that his team was thoroughly fit. There had been no further casualties, and the players injured early in the tour had made a good recovery. “Invercargill was the turning point of the tour,” he said. “The players are very tired, and they will not be sorry to be homeward bound." There is every indication that conditions will be very much to the Springboks’ liking on Saturday. After a spell of dry weather, Carisbrook is very fast, and a fine day is all that is needed to make the tourists feel completely at home. Following are the teams:— Springboks Full-back: G. H. Brand. Three-quarters: F. Turner, D. O. Williams, S. Hofmeyr, L. Babrow, G. P. Lochner. Fly-half: B. F. van der Vyver. Scrum half: D. Craven. Back row: W. F. Bergh. Middle row: G. van Reenan, W. E. E. B.
