Tlio “Athletic News” says: “The International Rugby Board's decision suggests that it will always be impossible to raise a team to tour the Dominions. Then are we to expect that the New Zealanders will not send a team here until the last visit is repaid, or is the solution of the difficulty England’s acceptance of the responsibility?” _ , _ It recalls the declaration of Mr. Baxter, ex-president of the English Union: “The Dominions must have some say in Rugby government.”—A. and N.Z.
A London cablegram of March 16 said the International Rugby Board lias regretfully decided that it will be impossible to send a representative team to New Zealand in 1930.
