INTERPORT RUGBY.
HONGKONG'S TEAM CRITCISED.
"Fourteen Seasons" writes to the N.C.D. News on Feb. 23, as follows:-
It was with considerable surprise that I read in one of your contem- poraries this morning the names of the Hongkong Rugby XV to play against Shanghai in the forthcoming interport match. To call it a Hong- kong team is something of a misnomer as it is nothing but a Navy XV with three civilians and one army officer: included.
If Hongkong found theme Ives unable to raise a XV of Hongkong men to travel, surely it would have been infinitely preferable for them to say so-if they have, I withdraw my "grouse"-and to: call their team a Services XV, let us say, instead of an interport team, which they presumably do from the articles and notes appearing in the local Prese, and which emanate, I believe, from those who have bees in communication with Hongkong and know what they style their team.
on the event
I know the contention will be that the Colony is the depot of the Navy in the Far East, and as such it may play any member of that Service in inter- pot matches; such an argument is per-
etly easible in the case of the. permanent staff or the complement of ships permanently stationed there, as, I believe, is H.M.S. "Tamar," but that! a claim can be laid on the personnel of port seems rather carrying things too any of H.M. sbipa that happen to be in far and scarcely in keeping with the spirit of these contests. Acguing on these lines, any famous playere passing through Shanghai would be entitled to represent the local team.
It certainly seems desirable that Rome definite qualification should be laid down for the future, or any crist ing rule amended, as the question is bound to crop up again. If the Shanghi selection com extruded
