ALL BLACKS’ TOUR

THE FINAL TEST. THE TWO TEAMS. (Special to Press Association). (Received this day at 3 a.m.) CAPETOWN, Aug. 30

Intense interest is being taken in the Fourth Test. Crowds are arriving from all over the Union. There was much comment when the teams were announced. The Springbok team is:— Tindall, Van Nickerk, Rousseau, Van Der Wcsth u i zen, Morkel, Bennie Osier, De Vrlliers, Daneel, Mostert, Van Druten, 1/niw, Du Toit, Pretorius, Oliver, Xel. Tt" is a surprise to find the new wings, Van Nickerk and Morkel, neither of whom played in the other tests. They were placed against the All Blacks for the first time last Saturday. It was Morkel who scored the Province’s only try.

The Springboks pack is not changed, and the inside hacks arc the same as the third test. The All Black team is:— . Lilburne, Bobilliard, Lucas. Grenside, Nicholls, Johnson, Dailey, Stewart, Swain, Hadley, M. Brownlie, Harvov, Einlayson, Hazlett, McWillams. The lock position is not yet decided. If Harvey is fit enough he will go in ahead of Alley. Local papers now give New Zealand more hope of winning. They contend the attack is considerably livened up with the inclusion of Nicholls and Lucas. All question the getting of the hall. If the All Black forwards can do that, Nicholls and Lucas should turn out to he the match winners.

CAPETOWN, Aug. 30. Harvey will play lock and V. H. Neser will he referee. There will probably be a record attendance.
