PLAYERS WILL HAVE TO PASS DOCTORS
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Oct. 5. The All Blacks going to South Africa next year are to undergo two medical examinations—one in the immediate future and the other shortly before their departure. Doctors in each centre will be appointed by the New Zealand Rugby Union.
This was decided at last night’s meeting of the executive of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union, after the chairman, Mr. A. St. Belcher reported that two of the selectors, Messrs. Strang and McKenzie, had asked him to bring the matter of medical examinations before the executive. The other thing which the selectors wanted, said Mr. Belcher, was each player’s acceptance in writing of the invitation to go on tour. The secretary w r as instructed to have the necessary forms prepared.
