(By Telograph—
AUCKLAND, This Day. . "My attention has been drawn ro a statement I alleged to have made at Gisborne and which has appeared in the Press, that I regarded the outcome of the third Test as a certain victory for the Springboks," said Mr Percy W. Day, manager of the South African Eugby team npon arrival at Auckland before leaving by the Aorangi tomorrow for Australia en route to South Africa. "I said no such thing. On the contrary, I recognise that it is going to be a very hard game, and that the resuit is doubtful. I am hopeful, but not confident, that our team will win. However, I know that the Springboks^ will make a very great attempt to take' away the Eugby ashes. I ' trust tbis final Test match will be playea in the spirit wkich should prevail in such ■contests, and hope the exhibition will be one which will please the tliousands of spectators at Edon Park. May the bettor side -win. I shall be listening-in very intently'in Sydney."
