WARATANS AND ALL BLACKS
HO CHARGE OF MEETING (Specul to tub ' Stab '] WELLINGTON, November 12. There is no possibility ot the All Black side lor South Africa meeting the returned New South Wales representatives on their way through Australia early next year. The Waratahs, now touring England, will bo back in Sydney when the Ail Blacks arrive there, and .suggestions that a match should be arranged between the two sides have been thrown out. To-day Dir A. C. Kit to. acting chairman of the New Zealand Rugby Union, stated that it was tho unanimous opinion of his Management Committee that such a match should not be played. The All Blacks, he points out, will bo leaving tho dominion at the very commencement of the season and without any practice, and there is also a risk of injury to players who are about to embark on a strenuous tour.
“ The suggestion that we are afraid to meet them is all nonsense,” said Mr Kitto, “The records in England prove which is the better team.”
