A visit was paid to the Carisbrook ground, where the match against Otago w m p e Dl ayed tomorrow. This ground is also very heavy, and even should the weather continue due the prospects are Tor a greasy ball and heavy going. Icwr Taranalrt team has been chosen as fol-Full-back: Vaughan. quarters: Wilkinson, Marks Hickey. Five-eighths: Johnston. Coutts. Half: Lynskey.

A meeting of the Nrw Zealand Rugbv Union executive was held to-night A letftr was received through the Department of Internal Affairs from the British Ambassador in Paris stating that information had been received from the Minister of Foreign Afffiirs advising that the Rugby Union did not eonsider it possible to send a team to New Zealand, as a sufficient number nf good players were not willing to be absent from France for so long a period. M. Charpenter. secro*arv of the French Union, sent a similar explanation.

The Poverty Bar Union complained that Hawke’s Bey refused to give a share of the gate takings at a Ranfnrly Shield match. It was derided to renlv that the usual financial "OTidltions must apply. An application by the Wairarapa Union for a loan of £2OOO was approved, provided the condition of the proposed new ground was satisfactory. The West Coast Union protested against the method of selecting the team for the interT’iand imateh. The outstanding figure in the ganne between Christ's College Christchurch, and Wanganui College, in which Christ’s won by R 1 points to nil. was Talbot, the brilliant skipper of Christ’s College (says the Times). From start ’o finish be was the master mind. Time after time he was eause of fruitful passing rushes and splendid solo efforts He was dfrectlv responsible for no less than fortv of the points snored by his side and with his colleague. Sheen, demoralised the opposition. He is a strong rur.ner and a fine kick, and is. according to "Timmy” Dunean the famous All Black, the only plaver who can corkscrew, of which W. J. Stead and Mynqtt were great exponents.

THE SOUTH CANTERBURY MATCH. Commenting on the Taranaki-South Canterbury match, played at Timaru last week and won by the home team by 11 points to 3. the Post says: "The ground was in good order, but the conditions were nht all that could be desired. the strong southerly prevailing throughout the game making, the ball somewhat difficult to handle. The play was acter’sed by hard forward slogging, with little semblance of combined play. The visitors, however, have a promising set of backs if they could only be prevailed upon to run straight. In the loose there was little to pick and choose between the two packs, but.the Taranaki rear division was undeniably very superior. However, on the day’s showing it can be safely averred that the best team won. despite the fact that t’m visitors were "very stiff” on some occasions. "Taranaki backs had no finish in them. They hand’ed nicely, hut at the critical moment one of them was upended by a solid tackle. They played the wrong game when they .iad the wind, and must attribute their defeat to this fact. Their kicking was mostly too long, while shori kicks, with Creighton out of position. would’hav.> been very dangerous. Johnson. at flve-eightbs. played a good game, as did Lynskey at half. Masters, with a big reputation. showed up only occasionally in the forwards. West was their best pack man, while Fogarty still shines in the loose. Both the latter were members of the service team which toured South Africa. Malone, the winger, played a useful game, but had a hard nut to crack in Parker.” SECOND UNIVERSITY TEST.

Millard has chosen the following team to represent New Zealand Universities in the second test with Sydney, at Dunedin, on Saturday: Park (Auckland), Jackson (Wellington).
