PROPOSED VISIT OF BRITISH' TEAM IN 1930. INVITATION TO FRENCH FIFTEEN. WELLINGTON, Oct. 14. The New South Wales Rugby.. Union has written to the New Zealand Union suggesting that a British team should be invited to visit this side of the world. If New Zealand agrees the matter could be forwarded wheft the New South Wales team visit England next year. The suggested date is 1929, but the letter urges that preliminary steps should be taken at once. As no British side has been out since 1908 it is believed that such a visit would prove most attractive. In discussing the proposal the New Zealand Union felt that with an African tour in prospect "it could not expect the men to find time to play visitors the following year, and while agreeing to the proposal, decided in favor of 1930. The question of a visit from a French team was also discussed, and it was pointed out that an invitation had been sent. It was decided to cable Mr. Harris, who is with the Maori team, and ascertain what the Frenchmen meant to do.—P.A.
