CHARITY GAME
Manager To Play
(From Our Rugby Reporter) WELLINGTON.
The manager of the British Lions, 47-year-old Mr D. J. O’Brien, will play in a charity game in Wellington on Sunday.
The former Irish international, who will be at No. 8, has agreed to play in the match, the proceeds of which will go to the widow of the St. Patricks Old Boys player, Brian Ford, who dropped dead while playing in a club game last Saturday. New Zealand Rugby from 1905 to 1965 will be represented at the match. W. J. Wallace, one of the five surviving members of the 1905 team, will kick-off. Three of New Zealand’s greatest full-backs, G, Nepia, R. W. H. Scott and D. B. Clarke—will take part in a goal-kicking competition, and B. J. Lochore will play. T. Rodd, who played for Scotland as half-back against the 1963-64 All Blacks, and who Is reporting the Lions tour for the “Observer” and the “Scotsman,” also hopes to play in the game.
