REPLACEMENTS TO HALF-TIME ONLY FOR ALL BLACKS
Received Fridav, 11.40 p.m. SYDNKY, June fi. The replacement of injured plavers will be allowed up to and inclucling half-time in all matches to be played bv the All Blacks in Australia. This was decided today at a conference be tween the New Zealand team managers, Messrs II. Strang and N. McKenzie, and a representative of tlie New Soutlr Wales Rugby Fnion, Mr. F. Herlihy. The New Zealand Rugby Fnion cabled the New South* Wales Union requesting that replacements be allowea throughout the whole of each game as in previous tours. Mr. Herlihy was instrueted- to agree only to replacements up to half-time. , The All Blacks' captain, Fred Allen, is sufl'ering with a leg injurv and will rest during the next week. There is a doubt whether ho will be fit for the first Test at Brisbane tomorrow week, savs Arr. E. W. Kann, tlie Sun's Rugby writer. Allen should not have played in the opening match of the tour but he sacrificed himself in the interests ot his team. The New Zealand selectors will not pick their Test team until they have seen all their players in action.
