TOO MUCH TOURING
A RUGBY COMPLAINT
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association)
DUNEDIN, May 18
By the departure ..so early in the season of the New Zealand Varsity team for Sydney with seven Otago players, club football here will be robbed of much interest.
one begrudges the players their trip overseas,” says a Rugby writer in the “Otago Daily Times,” but it is really remarkable how Hide ]y the precept and practice ol our Rugby legislators are at variance. In recent years we have had it. impressed on ns that there is too much touring, even in New Zealand, and the Management Committee of the New Zealand Union. h a s stated how definable it is that there should he less touring. tVp have nnlv had three matches in the Dunedin competition, an,) now the leading team loses seven players. H would really seem that the New Zealand Union controls football ui the Dominion only in the abstract. A compliment no doubt lm,s been paid Dunedin, but it is one in the circumstances Ave could very well have done without.”
