The match England v. Wanganui, was played at Wanganui, in beautiful weather, before a large concourse of spectators, on Saturday. The ground was in splendid order, but slightly heavy after the recent rains. The game was interesting and exciting all through, the visitors leaving the field victorious by nine points to six.
The Anglo-Welsh team play the redoubtable Taranaki reps, at New Plymouth to-morrow, when it is anticipated their colours will be lowered.
