A word for New South Wales was put in by Mr, S. S. Dean, a.New Zealand delegate, at the Imperial Rugby Conference, held in London during the tour of the All Blacks. Mr. Dean had extended an invitation for a British team to visit Aew Zealand and New South Wales next year, and he pointed out that acceptance of the invitation would do a great deal of good to the game, particularly in New bouth Wales. "They are having a hard fight," he added, "but we are pleased to say that New South Wales is coming back.' I had a letter from the chairman of the union tho other day i leln^ arfced, lasfc season with a dencit ot ±,900. and as a result of our team's visit to Aew South Wales they finished JJP with a credit balance of over £1000 They are re-establishing Rugby football in tho country districts, and a visit from a British team, particularly to New South Wales, will do them a tremendous amount of good. I trust that you will do everything possible to let us have a visit. The advice was "received vby cable recently that the invitation could not be accepted for next year.
