RUGBY WISH “Having seen the Canter-bury-Wellington game, read all the newspaper reports and seen the pictures I am convinced we at last have a pack of forwards which can hold their own against any Rugby team. They can give our backs the protection that has been wanting for so long, and now we have a team capable of bringing the Ranfurly Shield back in August “Instead of beating the Lions, for the record, by driving through in the forwards, I hope the Canterbury team will be sporting enough to take a risk and turn on a demonstration of open football, passing and running with the ball at every opportunity. What does it matter if we do not beat the Lions? We beat Wellington and will surely beat Auckland. What a thrill it will be to see Shield games at Lancaster Park again.” No. 4 STAND.
