In Rugby Control
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, April 9.
SIGNS of the times appeared at a meet ing of the Suva Rugby Union this week when, according to the con stitution, four European and two Fijian members were elected to the management committee.
In view of the fact that Rugby in Fiji is overwhelmingly Fijian as far as num bers are concerned, it was not surprising that Ravuama Vunivalu (first Morris, Hedstrom Scholarship winner, recently returned from New Zealand) raised the question of representation and suggested that four Fijians and two Europeans on the committee would be more in order.
The president (Mr. Alport Barker) said that the union realised the necessity for a revision of the constitution, and that he would bring Ravuama’s proposal be fore the new management committee.
