RUGBY FOOTBALL.
SCOTTISH UNION’S STAND. ON NEW ZEALAND TOUR. (Press Association—Copyright.) (Received 7.10 p.m.) London, May 5. —The “Morning Post’s” Edinburgh correspondent says the Scottish Rugby Union annual meeting was held in private. It was expected that the Scottish attitude in connection with the New Zealand tour would give piquancy to the gathering, but it was uneventful. Mr Neilson, the retiring president, announced that the Scottish Union had no quarrel with New Zealand, but ignored the New Zealand visit owing to the manner in which the Rugby Union had arranged the tonr. After the New Zealand tour of 1905 it was agreed that any tour to or from overseas should be under the direct auspices of the International Board, but in July Scotland was merely informed that 34 matches were being arranged, of which two had been allocated to Scotland. The meeting accepted the statement without discussion.—-(A. and N.Z.)
