WALLABIES BEATEN
BY WESTERN PROVINCES
CONCLUSION OF RUGBY TOUR
CAPE TOWN, September 9.
The Western Provinces beat the Wallabies by 4 to nil in the presence of 15,000 spectators. The provinces’ side included several Springboks.
The second spell produced no score, but it was marred by a demonstration against the Wallabies owing to an injury to Van Eyssen, who was carried off, but resumed later. He was clearly looking for trouble and got it. At the conclusion of the game a huge crowd surrounded the teams, joined hands, and sang “Auld Lang Synn” A special Rugby conference decided to recommend the Rugby Board to accept the invitation to tour New Zealand and Australia in 1937, and that after this South Africa should participate in international tours either at home or abroad only at five-year in tervals. The feeling of the conference was that South Africa should concentrate on developing domestic football and not encourage internation tours, which disorganised the game locally. Nevertheless, in order to assist football in Australia, it felt this invitation should be accepted.
