ALL BLACKS ALL WHITE
INDIGNATION IN SOUTHLAND. By Telegraph —Press Association. Invercargill, Last Night. Southland Rugby Union officials, referees, footballers and. sportsmen generally are indignant at the decision of the New Zealand Rugby Union that the New Zealand representative team when it meets the British team is to play in white jerseys. All are of opinion that it was courtesy carried too far and that if any team should be asked to change its colours it is the visitors who, it is stated, when they chose dark blue knew that- the New Zealanders had worn all black uniforms ever since they began to take so prominent a place in international Rugby. . . Among those who have voiced their disapproval are Messrs. J. Richardson (vice-captain of the 1924 All Blacks), J. R. Bell (vice-captain of the 1925 Native team to England and France), J. W. Stead (vice-captain of the 1905 All Blacks) and A. J. Geddes (Southland and Nev Zealand selector).
