Rugby Rules "Every day I've read of new rules to be tried in Rugby. They have been changing the rules for over 100 years, getting nowhere. Now let’s try something else What about our leading coaches? Take the AU Blacks on Lancaster Park. There was a prop forward in toe middle of toe line-outs. His job seemed to be to forget about toe ball, but to collar as many of the White's legs as possible, when their owners went up for toe ball. Bad coaching" Then we had toe Country team coached to stand offside for 00 out of 80 minutes. just to stop toe other side playing football. Therefore, when the Country half-back got the ball all he could do was kick to toe ball-boys, who. I think, gat more ball to play with than did most ot the players. High prices and this alas of coaching will soon have our Rugby Union defunct—JO. R.K.
