The Springboks.

Before long New Zealanders will—one and all—be talking nothing else than Rugby football. Next season will see the invasion of these isles by the Springbok team from South Africa. Memories of the scoreless Test match at Wellington—it started to rain and never eased—are still retained by those privileged to attend, and it seems that all Wellingtonians and half the other New Zealanders were at Athletic Park on that great day in 1921!

The average New Zealander would not allow any weather conditions to interfere with his attendance at a Rugby Test match between the sworn rivals, South Africa and New Zealand.
