COMING VISIT
TO ENGLAND England will receive from Australia this year the strong- est Rugby Union team that has ever left the Commonwealth." It is after viewing the position from all angles that one comes to that conclusion.

VERY DIFFERENT
A rugger team is very different from a cricket team. At the age of thirty everyone regards a foot- baller as somewhat hoary' and an- elent at thirty-five a cricketer has his future generally ahead of him.
There is to be complete aban- doning of players simply because their ages are advanced. The wine in old bottles is good and so is the football of many a player who is considered a veteran." The Spring- boks of 1937 brought home the truth of this to Australians. Their best men were over thirty years of
