N.Z. RUGBY TEAM.

SOUTH AFRICAN TOUR. TENTH MATCH TO-MORROW. TO NORTHERN DISTRICTS. (Special t*» Press Association.) (Received July 5, 8.45 p.m.) KIMBERLEY, July 5. The New Zealand team for the tenth match of the tour, which will be against Northern Districts on Saturday will be: — Fullback: Lindsay, Three-quarters: Rushbrooke, Lucas. ~ „, „ Five-eighths: Nicholls, McGregor. Halfback: Kilby. Rover: Stewart. Front Row: Ilore, Hadley. Lock: Alley. Side Row: C. Brownlie, Finlayson. Back Row: Ward, McWilliams. No Test Players Included. The selectors of the Springbok team have refused to allow members of the test lifteen to play in the Kimberley match. This is actuated, no doubt, by a desire to rest their players and out of a feeling of consideration for the All Blacks, who would have had to play what would amount to practically a test team in consecutive weeksThe Griqualand Rugby Union is highly indignant at this action-

ON THE INJURED LIST,

J. T. Burrows is still unavailable, as he has not recovered from an injury to his ribsShooting Expedition. Yesterday the New Zealanders took part in a buck shoot on an estate about 27 miles from Bloemfontein. Many old local hunters said the shoot was one ol' the linest they had ever attended. About 70 took part, and a bag of 54 was secured. All the beasts were shot by the All Blacks. It was a real South African picnic, and a meal with typical dishes was served and enjoyed by the party. It was a picturesque spot at the foot of a kopje, sheltered by tall rocks and shaded by trees. During the meal wildcLeeste appeared not far away, and many of the party left their lunch and stalked the animals.

The members of the team regard the shoot as easily the best experience they have had since they have been in South Africa.
