NO RUGBY TOUR IN 1930
SCOTTISH UNION BLAMED By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. LONDON, Friday. Leading Rugby players and followers of the game express regret at the decision of the International Rugby Board not to send a . representative team to New Zealand in 1930, but say they do not consider it finally means there will be no tour of New Zealand or New South Wales in 1930. It is suggested that the Scottish Union, which has always held most aloof, especially toward the Dominion players, is probably the principal force behind the decision, which has been made two years before the proposed tour. It is pointed out that the English Union, with which New Zealand and New South Wales are affiliated, and whose relations are most friendly, might undertake a tour alternatively for an Anglo-Welsh or Anglo-Irish side, but the situation demands most careful handling as the International Board, on which neither New South Wales nor New Zealand are represented, might resent the suggestion that a tour should be made by an individual nation. —A. and N.Z.-Sun.
