WINNERS UNIMPRESSIVE
■FAULTY HANDLING 'BY BACKS."
(Received 23rd October, 2.45 p.m.) LONDON, 22nd October. The game was not an edifying exposition of Rugby football. ■ Lancashire's tackling was deplorably weak, the backs relying principally on line kicking.-. The All.Blacks got most out of the scrums, .tut many of their passing attacks failed through Paewai's and M'Gre^or*s faulty handling. Lancashire improved in the second half, especially the forwards; who made some fine rallying rushes, but the All Blacks' defence Iwas sound, Nepia pending off with , fine lengthy ' kicks. Many of the All Blacks' attacks were disorganised and lacked finish. The All Blacks were much below standard, and their place-kicking was weak. Svenson and 'Hart played well, while Masters,' Richardsos, and Stewart were the best of the forwards. ■ ■ • •
