The Club has three well balanced teams that should do well but they will meet keen competition before they are able to enter the next round, The Japanese, whose selection has not yet been made known, will prove dangerous, but lack of weight may upset them although it has to be admitted that they are probably the fastest seven im the series, The Police seniors cannot be neglected for they have three excellent forwards while their outsides are all very fast dif the mark.
Probable first round winners are Police 1, Club 1, Club 2, Seaforths 1 and Police 2.
As arrangements are at present the semi-finals and final will be played off on Sunday although changes may be made in the event of any team dropping out, which is improbable.
