RUGBY SELECTORS

NOBTH-SOUTH NOMINEES

QUESTION OF FUTURE TEAMS

No 'decision has been niado by the New Zealand Bugby Union's Management Committee as, to the number of selectors to be appointed this season for the choice of players for the interIsland match, but the'usual course has been followed by inviting unions to make nominations. So fas, "as. big match play is concerned there will be no.need of New Zealand selectors this year unless, in view of events in subsequent seasons, the management coinurittco deems it advisable to have a New Zealand selection committee functioning with the object of keeping prospective candidates for New "Zealand teams closely in view. This duty, of j course, could.be carried out by the i inter-Island selectors without any. definite appointment of Now- Zealand selectors. It is expected that New Zealand's next big engagements will bo met next 'year, when a fully rcpresen- j tativc team is expected from Australia, j •After that, there will-be in all probability a visit to Australia before the tour.of the Home countries is undertaken, an event; for'which,-the management committee realises, early preparation is desirable.' ■- ':■ ';'■■ : :. *' , Nominations of North and South Island selectors closed yesterday, and the appointments -of • selectors >is, likely to be made next iveelc.
