Fears that New' Zealand will be given tho cold shoulder by the English Runny Union were expressed at a conference of Canterbury delegates last week. The president (Mr. P. f Wilson) said that he was rruito convinced that New Zealand should go ahead and alter the rules, whether or not it was isolated in consequence. The gentlemen who were in charge in England did not understand anything of tho conditions under which the game was played in New Zealand. Tho New Zealand Union would stand firm for amateurism, hut it was necessary to keep up with the times. A delegate said that visits by international teams at rare intervals would not compensate If Biighy went downhill. It would not iID th,. slightest harm If New Zealand were forced to break away from the English Union.
