Young Threes Line

Rigg at fullback started but was very steady and fi with length repeatedly. Bestian was drought in on the wing to replace McGill, the latter being on the injured list with a poisoned leg, while Hutchison on the other wing showed up well.

The threes line is undoubtedly one of the youngest the Club has had, and have everything before them They should develop into a very dangerous attacking force, all having speed, while the insides have the ability to swerve, White at stand ofi played a good game, although he was on occasions prone to attempt too much himself and might have had the ball back to better effect The cut through when it works is excellent, but repeated attempts reveal the form of attack and better results are gained by a variation. McGregor played a hard game at scrum half and wus very successful.
