LINE-OUT RULE

Home Unions To Act (NZPA.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON. The four British Rugby Unions—England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland—yesterday issued rulings on the law governing line-outs to ensure that referees give a uniform interpretation. They have ordered that a player must not throw the ball into the line-out and then act as scrum-half, thus giving his side the advantage of an extra back. There has been a growing tendency in British Rugby for backs at scrums and line-outs to infringe the law which says that all but the scrumhalf shall remain not less than 10 yards behind the hindmost foot of the forwards of his own team. Now the unions say this infringement must stop. They also make a request that referees shall “strictly enforce” the law governing foul play.

Blackheath’s All Blacks (Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON. The sixth New Zealander to wear a Blackheath Rugby jersey this season makes his first senior appearance on Saturday. He is the 6ft 7in second row forward, I. Donald. A civil engineer, Donald played for the University club in Wellington, and will join the AU Black full-baek, M. Williment. who is also in the side for his second appearance. Another New Zealand forward, M. Meikle, played for Blackheath earlier in the season but is out of action at present with cracked ribs.
