A Wellington telegram states that the New Zealand Union is issuing a further instalment of case law embodying recent decisions. It includes the following:—A try is scored where the ball was first touched dead ; a fair catch must be a clean catch at the first attempt, and a mark must be made; when a ball is in a scrummage every player, except those In the scrummage, must stand On his own side of a line drawn through the centre of a scrum at right angles to the touch-line, or must be adjudged off-side, and any player outside a scrum kicking or putting the ball back into a scrum after it has come out places his forwards off-side. " Fair Play " considers that the Selection Committee made a mistake in leaving K. Stewart and H. Douglas out of the trial teaiils.
