RUGBY ARGUMENT
SECOND KICK AT GOAL AUCKLAND REFEREES’ RULING (By Telegraph.—press Association) AUCKLAND, Thursday The second kick at goal with which Wesney converted Southland’s final try against Auckland to turn a draw into a two-point margin win for Southland last Saturday should not have been allowed. This is the decision of the Auckland Rugby Referees’ Association, and it is based on the ground that the referee did not see an Auckland player out on the field in front of his goal posts. The kick was taken and was unsuccessful, the referee washing out the kick as abortive by a signal with his hands. This determined his decision that, the try was not converted. The decision could not be altered under any circumstances, and consequently he was in error in complying with Saxton's appeal for a second kick.
