SYDNEY, this day,
The suggestion that the Rugby League team to tour England in 1941 should include some Now Zealand is sup* ported by a number of local officials.^ Mr H R -Miller, secretary of the New South Wales Rugby League, preferred not to comment, but lie admitted that it would be hard to get 28 players of high standard from Xew South Wales and Queensland for the tour. He considers that a triangular competition between Xew South Wales, Queensland and Zealand would help the game here and in New Zealand. ilr. H. Matthews, the Balmain delegate to the Xew South Wales Rugby League, said the inclusion of Xew Zealanders in the touring side would not only strengthen it, but would encourage Xew Zealand players.
