Saturday's Rugger Internationals
WALES WILL HAVE TO FIND BETTER BACKS FOR THE FINAL THIS SUNDAY
Says "HANLINCODE”
The local Rugger Internationals, played off on Saturday after- ncon resulted in Wales defcating the Internationals by 9 points to 6 and England defeating Scotland by 12 points to 9. This brings on England versus Wales final next Sunday.
Both games were played off at the Army ground, Sookunseo, in brilliant sun- shine, on a bonehard pitch and with a breeze blowing down the field. There was an excellent crowd present and one noted that the Welsh supporters were out in force and as Saturday was St. David's Day, most of them had brought along their leeks, of which some were of gigantic proportions.

It is full of sur- prises and this was nearly one of them. The Rebels opened with a dash and in the first half did all the foreing.
