CANTERBURY’S TEAM.
“Line-out” sends along Ids selection for a Canterbury Fiugby representative team, chosen from Town players;— l ull back : J. Harris. Three-quarters: J. Steel. It. Litbume. A. C. Robilliarrl. Five-eighths: N. P. McGregor. J. Manion. Halfback: W. Dailey. Wing-forward: G. Scrimshaw. Forwards: I. T. Burrows and Rutherford (hookers), J. Alley (lock), H. B. Godfrey and J. Jeffries (side rankers), A. White and G. Leahy (back rankers). This team, it will be noticed, differs from the suggested one last week in several important respects. Lilburne is recommended as centre three-quarter instead of Garleton, and Mardon is put in as live-eighths, while Steel replaces Ogier on the wing. Rutherford's claims as a hooker are urged in preference to McCleary’s, and Leahy is supported as a better backranker than Fookes. Any more bids?
