THE ALL BLACKS.
NO MATCH WITH WARATAHS. There is no possibility of th« All Black side for South Africa meeting the re turned New South Wales representatives on their way through Australia early next year. The Waratahs’ team, now touring England, will be back in Sydney when the All Blacks arrive there, and suggestions that a match should be arranged between the two sides have been thrown out. Mr A C. Kitto, acting chairman of the New Zealand Rugby Union, says it is the unanimous opinion of the Management Committee that such a match should lot be played. The All Blacks will be leaving the Dominion at the very commencement of the season without any practice, and there is also a ris kof injury to players who are about to embark on a strenuous tour. “ The suggestion that we are afraid to meet New South Wales is absurd,” said Mr Kitto. “ The records in England prove which is the better team.”
