CHANGES IN KIWI TEAM TO PLAY ENGLAND
London, Nov. 21 Bond has been dropped from the New Zealand team to play England at Twickenham on Saturday. Saxton will be captain of the team and the inclusion of Rhind and Simpion should help to infuse into the pack the dash which was missing from the last two games. The rest from hard travelling will also help the team. Little fault can be found with the selection, although Argus might be considered unlucky being left out.
However, there were close claims for two or three places. Although Saxton did not show top form in either of his appearances, *he should be much litter on Saturday and his experience will be a big asset. It is difficult to assess the chance' of the side which played the bes game to date against the best opposition, but with four days in which to prepare for the game, the Kiwis’ play generally should be sharpened up and they can be expected to put up a good performance.
