FOLLOWING close upon the heels of the Rugby

Interport between the Hong Kong Football Club, Rugby Section, and the Shanghai Rugby Football Club, comes the annual local Inter- national Tournament which has again drawn four teams, England, Scotland Wales and Ireland.

THE COMPETITION, IN SPITE OF THE ABSENCE OF MOST OF THE NAVY'S BEST MEN, SHOULD BE VERY OPEN THIS SEASON AND THE FIRST ROUND MATCHES NEXT SATURDAY, ON THE CLUB GROUND, SHOULD PROVIDE TWO EXCELLENT ENCOUNTERS.

Wales will meet Ireland, and England will encounter Scotland, and of the two, the latter game should provide the best struggle. The Club's first fifteen, which went through the Triangular Tourna- ment without a defeat, has been broken up and players will be seen in all four teams.

England will be very strong in. the back division, the three-

quarter line in particular, where ASSOCIATION XI
