THE ALL BLACKS.

To-morrow's Queensland Team,

BRISBANE, July 25. The Queensland team for next Saturday will be as follows: —

Pull-back: P. Carmichael. Three-quarters: Pearce, Watson, J. Carmichael, and Parkinson.

Halves: Heaslop and Ahem.

Forwards: Fihelly, Richards, Flanagan, Sampson, Caniffe, Oxenham, Oxlade, and Brighton.

Experts are of opinion that in yesterday's football match between Queensland and New Zealand the Queenslanders were outclassed in all branches of the game, and that the best team won.

The Brisbane "Courier" makes the following comments: —"You cannot espect a man to stop the kick of a horse, and it was hardly reasonable to expect the tree kangaroo to stop the kick of the moa when in his most kickful mood, seeing that the big kangaroo was unable last Saturday to stop the self-same kicks. The playing of the 'All ©fecks' has the proper strength and conviction of a kick from a horse." The local "Daily Mail" says:—"ln the fine points of the game the local men were beaten, and in the handling of the ball the difference was most marked. At the same time, many are of opinion that the 'All Blacks'' play yesterday could not be compared with the form shown by previous New Zealand combinations," (Received 9.51 a.m.) BRISBANE, this day. The Rugby Union indignantly scouts the idea of abandoning the third test match in order to permit another match New Zealand v. New South Wales.
