NEW RUGBY RULES.

Discussion Deferred by N.Z. Union. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 29. No discussion took place at the meeting of the Management Committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union this evening upon the controversy in connection with the rules governing players leaving the field at half time and the replacement of players. The chairman, Mr Dean, suggested that as the motions which had been passed by some of the unions had not all come to hand yet the wisest course would be to postpone discussion until next meeting. This was agreed to. “ I don’t think half the people of Sydney know that the All Blacks played a match here,” remarked the chairman, when a letter was read from the Southland Union stating that no good purpose was served by the practice of playing touring New Zealand teams against provincial sides before departure overIt was decided to take no action in the matter. The Duller Union, holders of the Seddon Shield and Bundle Cup, advised that it intended to issue a challenge for the Ranfurly Shield. The following players were reinstated or admitted:—A. H. Fyfe and R. R. G. Wells (North Auckland): R. R. Fielder. G. S. Brown and F. H. Rose (Auckland): J. Kirby (Waikato): L. J. Kinsella and T. Dowling (West Coast);, D. E. Clark (Otago); and J. W. Dando, ' W. A. Hansen and T. C. Leitch (Golden Eay-Motueka ).
