The few changes that have been made have, if anything, strengthened both the attack and defence, St. Louis in particular, at serum-half, being a most useful man to have on any side.
On Sunday the Seaforths clash with the French Forces at 230 pin. and here again a well-worth while game is likely to be seen. The Army side, which played in Hongkong last year, was considered a very useful team in the Colony and although nearly half of the first fifteen did not come to Shanghai, necessitating the rebuilding of the side, its easy victory last Thursday over the Area Details by an overwhelming score, indicates that the Scots are likely to have more than average success this winter.
Outstanding among their players is Lance-Corporal Rainey, the stand-off, who, a very few seasons ago, played regularly for the Hampshire County lst XV. The captain, Lieut. R. D. MacLaglen, who plays at scrum-half, is also reputed to be a fine exponent of the game and local teams may find this pair doing considerable damage before the season is very old. The French Forces are being drawn from the Navy, Army and Police and while little is known of their capabilities, they are expected to put up a good showing.
The best match of the week-end would appear to be that commencing at 315 pin. on Sunday when two powerful Club sides meet. Known as the Captain's and—Vice-Captain's Fifteens and made up from the best talent available, the two teams should be able to give local followers of the game a good idea of what the constitution of Shanghai's premier team is likely to be.
