Britain Makes Bow in Wanganui Match
FIRST RUGBY GAME GROUND SUITS FORWARDS (SUX Special Representative — Copyright) WANGANUI, Today. Rain fell in Wanganui overnight, and after a fine morning further rain before the match seems probable. Cook’s Gardens will, therefore, be. greasy and forward play may predominate. A keen wind is blowing straight down the ground from the north.
Popular opinion favours the British and many are expecting wide margins, but a few of the knowing ones declare that there will not be much between the teams at the finish. There is a great crowd in town, and an attendance of 12,000 is expected. Many ex-All Blacks are here, including Stead, Hunter and Sullivan, of the 1905 team, and Svenson and Nicholls, of the 1924 team.
