RUGBY UNION IN SYMPATHY

WITH DOMINIONS VIEWS

DISPENSATIONS

The granting to Australia and) New Zealand of the touch-kicking | dispensation shows that the Rugby Football Union, the controlling body in England, is much more sympathelle towarda Dominion views than is generally supposed. The IF.U. went out of its way to secure this particular concession, and generally has shown itself undeserv ing of the criticism sometimes level- fed at it for autocratic control.

England is, in fact, willing to try: several innovations, but has been checked by Scotland, Ireland and Wales-the reverse of what might have been expected.

When the touch-kicking dispenso- tion was granted from 1922 to 1933, the R.F.U. was an independent body, of which New South Wales was an Affiliated unit. Then the R.F.U. agreed to abide by the laws of the International Board, which included Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and it self became a unit of that body. It draw the dispensation. Was compelled, therefore, to with

The matter was again raised by the Now South Wales delegates, Messra. Hill and Holden, at the Imperial Rugby Conference at the end of last year.

Conservative England, it has now been revealed, was actually willing. that the touch-kicking amendment should be tried out in the home coun- tries for two years. Scotland, Ire-

Notwithstanding this rebuff, Eng. land then sought dispensation from Australia and New Zealand. Still the others would not bage to the point of giving official sanction, but in-. timated that the decision could rest with the R.P.U., and the other unions would formally acknowledge receipt of any notification on the subject, without actually giving sanction.

R.F.U. advised New South Wales at the end of last week of its favour- able decision, giving further proof of its sympathy.

The

The attitude of England may be gauged from the fact that the R.F.U. also was willing to adopt the New Zealand suggestion of amended scor- ing, providing for two points for a goal from a mark and three points for a field goni. Again Scotland, Ireland and Wales objected, but the report of Messrs. Holden and Hill shows that the matter will not rest there, and the scoring system will be of reviewed following expression opinions of clubs and players. Leader!
