S.A. tour favoured
NZPA-AFP London England’s rugby players have voted overwhelmingly in favour of going ahead with a tour of South Africa this year. The visit could endanger England’s participation in the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh under the Gleneagles Agreement which now covers even such sports as rugby although it
is not a Commonwealth event. Only two out of the players picked for the final England trial on January 7 were against the tour in a poll conducted by “Rugby Post,” the official magazine of the English Rugby Football Union, whose members meet on March 30 to decide whether to accept South Africa’s tour invitation.
