Kiwis miss out
New Zealand, which played Australia in the World Cup final, failed to get a player into the world team - selected by a panel of international- judges. Although the young centre, Kevin Iro, the halfback, Clayton Friend, and the forward enforcer, Kurt Sorensen, polled strongly throughout the year in the Adidas world ratings, Australia and Great Britain cleaned up. The Adidas World team, released yesterday with country and votes in brackets, is: Garry Jack (Australia, 54), John Ferguson (Australia, 37), Martin Offiah (U.K., 30), Andrew Farrar (Australia, 29), Michael O’Connor (Australia, 29), Wally Lewis (Australia, 55), Allan Langer (Australia, 43), Kevin Ward (U.K., 52), Ben Elias (Australia, 53), Paul Dunn (Australia, 28), Mike Gregory (U.K. 30), Gavin Miller (Australia, 49), Ellery Hanley (U.K., 48).
