TO-MORROW’S GAMES, |
Second test, IS lew Zealand v. South Africa, at Eden. Park. Auckland. Wellington tonring team v. Taranaki. Otago v. South Canterbury, at TimNew South Wales v. Buller, at Westport. Marisfcs v. Merivale. at Lancaster Park. Senior chib championship final at Auckland, Grafton v. Grammar Old Boys. Wellington B v. Atari borough, at Wellington. The outstanding event to-morrow will naturally b© the second tost at Auckland. Now Zealand won the first test by 13 points to 3, aud the Dominion will probably put nearlv the same fifteen in the field to-morrow. If there is any change, it * will no doubt bo in either the five-eighth or halfback nosition. It is stated in some quarters that one of the three selectors is determined to see “ Teddy Roberts included instead of -Mark Nieholls. and that another selector is just as determined that this alteration shall not take place. It is, therefore, quite on the cards that the final choice this evening will be attended with some interesting developments. When the Anglo-Welsh team toured New Zealand in 1908. they played a drawn game in the second test. 3 all, after losing the first by 5 to 32. The third, played at Auckland, went to New Zealand, 29 to nil. The teams for the match in Timaru are : OTAGO. Watson •Stewart Jeffs Owles Hawke Harley Al’Xaughton Wilson Sontagg Davjdson Knox Turnbull Boreham Coombes Johnston SOUTH CANTERBURY. P. Crannitch H. A. Scott A. Herdman W. A linear J. It. Cooke G. P. Lawson M. An gland A. Scott R. Stewart E. Fail-brother W. Direcn W. Shea P. Ward H. Parker J. M’Bride So far, New South Whies have not suffered a defeat. Their back combination is evidently up to a high standard, and it will be improved if Raymond joins up from Sydney in time to plav in the match at Christchurch, ineresing dcvlopmns.
