VERY DISAPPOINTED
N.S.W. RUGBY UNION NO TEAM FROM N.Z. A WRITTEN AGREEMENT? Received Oct. 28, 12.25 a.m. SYDNEY, Oct. 27. Following the announcement from New Zealand that the New Zealand Rugby Union is not sending a team to Australia next year, which caused surprise and disappointment here, it is stated to-day that the New South Wales Rugby Union has a written agreement with the New Zealand Rugby Union committing the latter to sending a team next year. Whether the New South Wales Rugby Union will press for observance of the agreement will depend on the reasons advanced for the cancellation. Mr. J. Noseda, secretary, said: “We are all very disappointed. Maybe the New Zealand Rugby Union has very good reasons for its action. On the other hand, if the New Zealand tour must be put off until 1939 it will have to be early that year as the Australian team for abroad must be selected before the end of June.”
