All Blacks Advised Not To Coach Provincial Sides For Matches Against Britain
Special to THE SUN WELLINGTON. Thursday. PRIOR to the Waiq-auui match on Wednesday, the openinggame of the British Rugby team's New Zealand tour, it
was intended that Mark Nicholls should visit the riverside town and take its representatives in hand for training and- instruction purposes, but it is stated that he was advised against going away to assist in coaching teams, either at Wanganui or elsewhere. It was
also the intention of C. G. Porter to fulfil a like duty’ for Taranaki, but lie, too, was advised against such action. It was thought that had these two players acceded to tlie wishes of Wanganui and Taranaki they’ might have imperilled their status as amateurs, or at least have caused somedoubt to be thrown upon their actions. It seems that the question of what constitutes an amateur and what a professional will have to receive very careful consideration in the near future.
