Both matches will probably be played in Levin. A stern contest is expected from the outset), Dannevirke having the makings of a strong team, together with the services this season of Elvey, the crack wing threequarter. KICK INTO TOUCH RULE.
The question of the advisability of reverting to the kick-into-touch rule this season was hotly debated at the Annual Meeting of the New Zealand Rugby Union held in Wellington on Thursday night. Mr. W. J. Hardham on behalf of the Wellington Union moved that, in view of a New Zealand side tooling South Africa in 1928 all representative and trial matches and the North v. South match be played under the old kick-into-touch rule. The motion was lost by 46 votes to 22.
