RUGBY FOOTBALL.
THAT HALF-TIME RULE. DECISION IN CANTERBURY. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Rugby referees in Canterbury are empowered to allow teams to leave the field at half-time, according to a decision of the Canterbury Rugby Union last evening. Statements were made at the meeting of .the Management Committee that the rule of the English union that teams must remain on the field at half-time was ridiculous, and was an English tradition carried down from distant years, when there was a possibility of teams being "bought over" at half-time.
