The Seniors will have a much improved back line this year owing to the presence of Rae, the Otago provincial and N.Z.U. half-back, behind the scrum. The other backs with the exception of Cormack, are all available. The Club is very disappointed that several of our last year's forwards have gone over to other clubs; it is an unexpected and disloyal blow at a time when there were prospects of a vast improvement in our form this year.

This leaves room for the keenest and fittest of our younger forwards, who may infuse more keenness and dash into the play and bring the Seniors well into the limelight. Members of the Club are not dismayed and with Roy Diederich as captain, are keener than ever to bring the team into the first grade.

A very good practice of all grades was held on the 7th. April and remarkably good form displayed; we hope the numerous abrasions will be well cured before the next practice.
