Rugby Broadcasts
Sir, —Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but the opinion of the game in the third test against the Lions expressed by Mr Tinnelly is not his own as he did not see the game, but is hearsay from others who did see it. As the man who has seen more big football than any of those who criticised him was the commentator his valuation of the game would count with me. As for the statement by Mr Tinnelly that all the newspapers said it was a, good game I quote: “The Press,” “It was an untidy game, and as a spectacle disappointing;” ‘Sports Post,” “The match can hardly be described as outstanding;” “Star Sports,” “The ball was in play for 21min 12sec;” “Truth,” “It was an untidy game . . . boredom relieved only by the interestingly increasing dominance of the New Zealand forwards.”— Yours, etc.,
TESTY. Greymouth, September 11, 1959.
