RUGBY NOTES.

A few remarks regarding individual performances in the senior team, should bo of general interest. Only two members—Skilton and R. Hinton—played in ...overy game. Moni'gaitti and Wood missed one match a,nd Jarman/ Roberts and Ball played in all but two games. The leading- scorers wore Todd and Ppmare, equal wit-h 35 points each. The former's tally consisted of seven conversions of tries and seven penalty goals. Pomare's points include four tries, four, conversions'and five-penalty g-oals. Easily tbo most meritorious per fornuniee was recorded -by Ball who scored nine tries. Ross although only taking-part in four- games, notched IS points, which includes three tries. Thirty nine tries were scored, twenty seven being credited to the backs. Tie services of twenty-eight, players were required, the casualties during the latter part of the season being fairly heavy.' Haying due. regard to the facV tie team did exceptionally We'llto finish up in third placeIt is pleasing to note that Ball, Roberts, Skelton and WooTT havtf been solccte:l lvt6 feaiu for representative niatehes. Ball should be a certainty for the southern tour. Roberts and Skilton should also find a place in.the jtcanii , The /former is undoubtedly the most promising lock.in Wellington and as he can also play on thie^ side of the scrum (where he played last season) his c-Hanees of a trip south are bright. Skiltou has been the most consistent forward in the* team. With the early diefeetion of Peck, through injuries, most of the line put work fell to Skilton, who could always be depended upon to do the correct- thing. Wood is a greatly improved forward who should be in line for a trip with one of >the touring teams.
