WATKINS OUT... SAVAGE HURT...
The Lions wing. K. F. Savage, is an unlikely starter in the match against combined at Nelson today. Savage, who has had several injuries on the tour, has a new one, a bruised heel, and will have a fitness test this morning. No decision has been made who will replace Savage if he does not play. The alternatives are that W. McFadyean will be I
moved out to the wing and B. Bresnihan will come in at centre, or that D. I. Bebb will play on the wing. S. J Watkins, the Welsh wing, who has yet to play in New Zealand, withdrew from the team to play combined yesterday, and was replaced by A. J. Hinshelwood. Watkins has recovered from his hamstring injury, but has now developed a haemotoma ;on the same leg, and will be J out for a few more days.
