Thanks to Phil Smith and Roger Stevens for the following information:
{short description of image} Another tour match was staged at Newport, Wales on 05.08.

The official programme for the Wales & West v Poland match is shown on the < left. On the scorechart page, the match is described as the 4th Test Match of the series! Obviously an error, but in any case this programme was "mislaid" on the British Railway system, and not used.

So a 2-page "emergency" programme was produced (see right >) and the match became Wales and South England v Poland.
