A SUPERNUMERARY— The Otago forwards in Saturday’s Rugby match against the British Isles were offered some help about 15 minutes after the second spell began. On the Otago line there was a passage of broken play from which the ball went out over the touchline. As the players formed up for the line-out a spectator, was among them. The British Isles eight, lining up, did not want him. Nor did the Otago forwards, who assisted his passage to the touchline. Then the referee acted as escort, taking him to a policeman who had come from the embankment. This photograph was taken as the referee took over.
