ALL BLACKS’ TOUR

TO-DAY’S TEAM. HAR-VEY AND McGREGOR TO PLAY. (Special to Press Association), (Received this day at 9.30 a.m). OUDTSHOORN (Cape), August 21

The New Zealand team for to-mor-row against South-Western Districts is:—Lindsay; Rushhrook, Carleton, Lucas; Nieholls, McGregor; Strang; Scrimshaw; Burrowes, Hadley, Stewart, Harvey, McWilliams, Ward, and Snow.

There is great surprise at the inclusion of Harvey after so much illness, !>ut the match is regarded as an easy one, which probably explains the fact. in any case, the team is very pleased that Harvey is fit enough to take the field again, for the first time since the first match at Capetown. .McGregor is included again after seven weeks forced spell. Here is suffering from a poisoned thigh hut it is not regarded as serious.

'the All Blacks to-day went' through the famous Cango Caves, seventeen miles from Oudtshoorn. The visit to these limestone caves was one df the most interesting and delightful outings of the tour. The drive itself was worth while, since it led through green, fertile valleys, reminding the visitors of .iow Zealand again. Once they had arrived at the caves the party changed into businesslike football togs and explored their wonders which are really fine examples of stalactite stalagmite formation. The caves have been lighted for a great distance with blue and red bulbs throwing a soft light on the walls and roofs of the various chambers.
