Mr Blazey quiet
PA Wellington The chairman of the Rugby Union, Mr Ces Blazey, would not say last night whether the union would contest the interim injunction against the tour of South Africa.
He was meeting the Rugby Union’s solicitors to discuss the implications of Mr Justice Casey’s decision. “Until the matter is dealt with in the courts the situation is a little indefinite,” he said.
Union councillors would also meet in Wellington in the next day or two to discuss the implications, he said.
“All I can say is that the decision of Mr Justice Casey does not necessarily mean that the All Blacks will never be able to proceed with the tour.
“All the decision means is that they are not able to go at the present time,” he said.
Mr Blazey would not be drawn on contingency plans that the Rugby Union might have to fall back on if the South African tour was abandoned.
