THE INQUEST
Poor old Rugby’s dead, but he can’t be buried yet, In the last issue of The Listener was reported the return of the true flavour of Rugby to jaded palates. Alas, the trials gargled it out again, almost. But not quite. From Frank Kilby comes support for The Listener’s idea that the Islands match gave cause for hope, whatever mess the trials made of the talent available. Kilby said he believed there was something worth building on, and that two or three more seasons would tell the tale. He and George Aitken reviewed the matches over the air, and Kilby gave his idea of a New Zealand» team. ¥ It was: Taylor / A. G. Sutherland Wesney Morrison Sullivan Crossman Williams Saxton Ward King Herron Bowman McDonald Lambourn George He made the selection of Williams provisional, on the ground that there were four or five good men available for the back ranker position. Grace, he thought, would certainly have been given a trip overseas. It seemed that by the end of the trials’ week Grace had begun to feel the effects of a heavy season and five weeks on tour.
