APOLOGY TO NEPIA
RUGBY UNION'S HASTY ACT
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) GISBOENE, This Day. At a meeting of tho management committee of the East Coast Eugby Union an explanation was given by George Nepia, the famous All Black, of the reasons which prevented him travelling with the representative team to Napier. He also defended his selection of players for which he had been censured by the union. The following resolution was carried: "We, the East Coast Eugby Union, do apologise to Nepia for being so hasty in dispensing with his services as selector and condemning him on the charges brought without giving him a hearing." Nepia then withdrew his statement that he would not again don an East Coast jersey.
