THE WING-FORWARD
"TOO MUCH LATITUDE"
Judging by remarks made at the meeting of the Management' Committee o£ the New Zealand Rugby Union last night some of the members do not look kindly upon the wing-forward and his activities. "The wing-forward in New Zealand gets far too much latitude," remarked Mr. S. S. Dean (chairman). "I : do not think that anything we can write against the wing-for-ward can be put in strong enough terms." It was pointed out by: Mr. W. J; Wallace that the wing-forward had a special place and a particular job, in the game, and so long as he played up. to the rules he should not be stopped. . The powers of the referee in the mat-
ter wore then referred; to, and the suggestion was made that the' referees should be more strict.
Mr. Wallace: "If you do that you -will have free kicks all day long." A decision was made that all affiliated unions and the New Zealand Rugby Referees' Association be circularised on the question of having the rule regarding offside strictly enforced.
