NOW FOR ALL BLACKS !
NEW SOUTH WALES ANXIOUS
(From "The Post's" Representative.) - SYDNEY, 30th May. Now bring out your All Blacks! One could almost hear the New South "Wales Bugby enthusiasts saying this when the State team overwhelmed the first Queensland fifteen to visit Sydney for ten years. New South Wales had an easy win, but it was great football all the same, and the team was revealed as one of the fastest and most resourceful ever chosen. It is doubtful whether New South Wales has ever been stronger than it is to-day—a young team keen to show the football crowds of Sydney that the Union code is a better game than the League code.
In the cireumsta-nces the AH Blacks will have to be of the highest calibre if they are to retain their reputation as world-beaters at the game which they love so much. No second-rate team ivill do fpr the Australian tour. The matches that are to be played at Brisbane .and Melbourne will be easy enough, but in Sydney they will have to go all out to score a victory. This development of the Union game—the game that was most severely hit by the war —lias been gradual, but it has been sure, and now that the young players have found their feet, as it:were,'they, make a. formidable combination, as the Waratahs showed in their last tour
