As the New Zealanders point out, this method leads to the development of good wing threequarters, but inferior centres. Their reasoning has been justified by what has happened on the English side this season. The centres have been damned with faint praise, and all the applause has gone to a wing man named Sever— the real match-winner
"I am not particularly anxious that we should follow the New Zealanders in the matter of nomenclature,, but, if it should te necessary, in order to impress upon pur- midfield players that it is as much their job to pierce the defence as that of the wing man's, the step would be well \ worth taking."
