THE ALL BLACKS. GREAT FORWARD TEAM. © SYDNEY PRESS PRAISE. {»Y CABLE—-PKBBS ASSOCIATION COPJ&MHT.) IiOSTBtXJAK AND K.Z. CAB LB ASSOCiA'WUtt./ SYDJTBY, July 17.' Commenting on the All Blacks' match, tbo "Sydney Morning Herald'' snye:—"The winners gave a most finished exhibition of team work. The forwards played grandly. They aro undoubtedly .the backbone of the teim, which sliouid mould into a very high-class combination." , .The Sydfiey "Daily Telegr&ph" sSys:—"The bi£ All Blacks' forwards too husky and faet for lha home eight. It was, tbo devil and dash of the vanguard which really won the flay." 1 The paper pate » tribute to Porter, and saya:—"His anticipation was uhc&iiny. Ii was_ certainly a big advantage to ha,ve a spoiling specialist of the calibre of, Porter in the team, and his hustling methods provided a rather easy passage for the whole 'of his back division, tfhe Black backs will be a powerful combination on tour." The opinion is expressed thit the -AIJ Blacks wilj. bo but a little inferior to the famous 1905 team.

The manager (Mr Little) stated that uc iva3 confident the All Blacks had the makings of a great team. He p*ici a high tribute to the treatment received* during'the sm* in Sydney. Both the public and the ■Mess had treated them meat fairly. BRITISH IN AFRICA. UNIVERSITIES BEATEN. (BJ (JABLB—PBE6S ASSOCIATION—COPTUIG^T.) (EEUTER'S TELEGEAMS.) < . . . CAPR TOf*.
