OME excellent Rugby should be witnessed on the Army ground

fifteen in the first Triangular Tournament fixture of the season, and one which promises to provide a keen struggle.

--

Army have made several interesting changes in their lineup, outstanding feature of which is the transfer of Chiverall from the left-wing threequarter position to right centre-threequarter, with Ferguson making an appearance in the former position.

DEAN'S COMEBACK.

B.O'M. Dean stages a comeback · after two seasons, although he made one or two belated appear- ances last season. His selection was obviously based on his display last week against the Navy experimen-" tal fifteen.

Preceding this Triangular Tournament match, which will com- mence at 4 p.m., the Club "A" fif- teen will meet a Navy side on the same ground, commencing at 2.45 p.m.
