NEW ZEALAND RUGBY
AN EYE TO THE FUTURE 1930 ENGLISH TOUR (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The South Island Rugby team was selected on Saturday with one eye on a tour of Britain in 1936. stated -Mr. S. S. Dean, chairman of the New Zealand Rugby Union committee, at an ojticial dinner on Saturday night. It was essential that the representation at that time should be adequate: He considered that in 1936 New Zealand will secure a. team equally as good as that of 1924. Referring to the lianfurly Shield challenges, Mr. Dean said he dirl not favor altering the rules to prevent minor unions playing for that trophy. Tt was his opinion that teams playing for the Serldon Shield should get away from the competition for it. and play for the flanfurly Shield, so as to meet the best sides of A unions in the Dominion. I’liere was no better way to improve the standard of Rugby football. (Applause.
