Three Freyberg Rosebowl players will be competing this year.
They are P. R. Adams (Otago University), M Radford (Otago University) who represented Southland and R. Barltrop (Victoria) who represented Manawatu-Wanganui.
All three have been past members of NZU teams.
Other players attending who have played for NZU in the past are: G. Harrison (Auckland, 1966) E. Webber (Auckland 1966), B. Taylor (Canterbury 1966-67), J. Billington (Victoria 1967), W. Trewern (Otago 1967).
The Victoria team selected after extensive trials at Miramar and Paraparaumu is R. Barltrop, M. Phelan, J. Billington and J. Ingle.
Last year the Tournament was won by Otago with Vic second.
Otago this year look to be the team to beat, but the fact that Vic is playing on its home course (Miramar) will even the odds.
Auckland appears to be the only other team with a chance.
This year's NZU team will again be strong with the top three players from last year Adams, Barltrop and Taylor (who all attended Von Nida's coaching school in January this year) available.
There promises to be fierce competition for the six places in the NZU team.
The NZU match against Wellington on Saturday, 17 August, at Paraparaumu, should be close.
