team notes:

 Under rain so heavy that, utterly drenched at half-time and without a spare kit, the England men had to play in the unfamiliar colours of Queen's Park in the second half.
Eric Brook was the original named outside-left, but on 11 April, itwas announced that he could not take his place due to a groin injury. Pat Beasley replaced him a day later.
