AUCKLAND RUGBY UNION MEETS

No matches are to be played on August 27. the date of the Hawke’s Bay-Auckland contest. A member stated that when two or three representative teams played on the same day it was difficult to find players who warranted inclusion. It was stated that in compiling the membership of the senior team the secondary teams were often disregarded. It was agreed that B teams should receive equal attention when selections were being made. A member of the City Club \yho received an injury in a recent match claimed payment of expenses incurred. It was stated that through an error his insurance application was not registered, but if the player would insure without delay his claim would receive consideration. Complaints alleging the misuse of the AvQndale grounds were referred to the secretary for investigation. Notification of amended tramway fares to and from Eden Park was received from the Auckland Citv Council. The Thames Rugby Union forwarded a report on the Thames-Auckland match played at Thames last Saturday.
