MANAGER’S COMMENTS
“Canterbury won this game today by playing the open game. we were beaten by a better team, said Mr J. W. Ackroyd, manager of the Fijian team, commenting on Canterbury’s win after the game. I told the boys this morning that if they did not tackle like lions they would lose, and in this game I am afraid their tackling was weak. "Today we did not come back in the loose so well in the second half. Normally if we are only a few points down or up at half-time we reckon we can win, but today Canterbury held on. played better, and there it was," he said.
