“Good and clean”
“It was a good, clean game, and I hope that it has laid low any criticisms of Canterbury Rugby in the last few years.” That was the first reaction of Canterbury’s chief coach (Mr Stan Hill) after the team’s victory over Scotland on Saturday. i Mr Hill, who helped Canterbury and the All Blacks beat the 1956 Springboks and the 1959 Lions on the same ground, said the win was obtained by the players all rising to
the occasion and forming a closely-knit team. “There are still parts of our play which need improvement, notably the line-out and some sectors of our back play, but the 100 per cent team effort carried us through.” “Pressure from the forwards, four tries by the backs—and you have a team,” was the summary of a delighted Mr Derek Arnold, Canterbury’s back coach.
