The Wairarapa Rugby Union management committee have decided to request the New Zealand Union to take up the matter of V. Barclay’s .residentfial qualification in Hawke’s Bay prior to his participating in last Saturday’s Ranfurly Shield match. The New Zealand Union rules (Rule 43) provided that any player engaging in inter-Pro-vincial football must reside in the province for at least three weeks prior to the match. In view of the fact that Barclay did not leave Auckland for Napier before June 23, and had not played in Hawke’s Bay this season prior to the match against Wairarapa. Wairarapa felt justified in asking the New Zealand Union to investigate Barclay’s bonafules.
