N.Z. TRAINING SCHOOL
Christchurch As Venue
A national teaming school for 'l7 promising Rugby League players at provincial level is planned for Christchurch next month. The New Zealand council has proposed the week-end of August 10-11 for foe school, but foe Canterbury Rugby League’s board of control last night felt that the preceding weekend would be more suitable. The South Island final of Rothman’s touimaiment is to be played in Christchurch on the afternoon of August 10. The board decided to suggest to foe council that the school be held on foe weekend of August 3-4, which would enable the players to attend the South Africa v. South Island match on foe afternoon of August 3. The council advised the board that foe school’s ec ashes would be the former internationals, C. Mbuntford and L. Blanchard. Kiwis would be ineligible; members of foe Rotorua training school would not be ineligible but were not likely to be chosen as it was hoped to increase the numbers benefiting from schools' instruction. It was hoped to play a match between a training school side and a Canterbury team on foe last day of the school.
