Humiliation

Mr. O'Regan continued that the South African Rugby Union had never asked that Maoris not be included in the team, but it appeared that any Maoris who might be good enough to be selected for the team would suffer humiliation in South Africa.

Therefore it would be better not to send a team at all. It was a pity the New Zealand Rugby Union thought the elusive crown of 'World Rugby Champions' was more important than New Zealand's good name for racial equality.

Mr. O'Regan's talk was well received by the large number of students and professional men present, and provoked much thoughtful discussion.
