NEW ZEALAND TEAM FOR
ENGLAND,
The Wellington Union has decided to support the proposal to send a New Zealand team to England, provided the team is under the management and control of the New Zealand Union. The committee of the Otago Rugby] Undon considered a. letter from the New Zealand Union, asking the opinion of the focal union on the proposal to send a team to England in 1900. It was resolved that in the opinion of the committee it is impossible to send Home a representative New Zealand team, without making th_ players professionals. The proposal Is rendered doubly objectionable by the introduction of football speculation, and the committee expresses surprise that the New Zealand Union should have given it so much countenance as to have submitted it to ,the affiliated unions.
