RUGBY.
N.Z. TOTjR OF SOUTH AFRICA
DISAPPOINTMENT AT SUGGESTED
CURTAILMENT
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received 10.10 a.m. to-day. CAPETOWN, June 14. The suggested curtailment of the New Zealand Rugby tour to 21 matches and three tests has caused widespread disappointment throughout South At run, particularly in the small centres. All were, eager to. join in the national welcome to the All Bfacks. It! is understood that the South African Board is most anxious to meet the views of the visitors, but feels l that local conditions make the departure of New Zealanders on June 16 too late, bringing the tour into hot we.qther. It feels that _ New Zealand would pay a great compliment if it trusted the South African Board regarding the arrangements for the visit, which is regarded more from the imperial aspect, than from .actual results.
