•The London Times in elaborating an : 'literview with .Mark Nicholls, states 'mt “Rugby is not a chessboard game, ■ .nt, for all that, chessboard tries have been scored, and by much the same means, prevented.” That's just where outsiders fail to appreciate New Zealand methods, as without even the aid of blackboards and diagrams, nearly every player “dreams” Rugby and has his wits always working towards some scheme to outwit the opponent (says the Wanganui Chronicle). Schemes are undoubtedly worked out beforehand by nearly every touring representative team, even to a more intensive degree than by a blackboard. I wonder what Homesters would think of our referee’s meeting and the demonstration board evolution of the rules?
