THE WING FORWARD
GEORGE GILLETTS VIEWS [Pee United Press Association.] HAMILTON, January 27. “ There is nothing wrong with our formation, which has stood the test of forty years,” stated George Gillett, cf Hamilton, one of the star players of the\ 1904-05 All Blacks. Gillett during that tour played frequently in the role of wing forward. “The proposal aiming at any change in. New Zealand Rugby will meet with much opposition when it comes before the annual meeting of delegates. There is_ nothing to say you cannot play a man in this position. The one person to handle the wing forward is the referee. A good wing forward can open up the game as well as the best half-back. Both can take their place on the field without detriment to them or team work as a whole.”
