SYDNEY, This Day
Cliff Porter, interviewed by the "Daily Telegraph," criticised the complaiufs of some members of tho All Blacks about referees. "It savours," he said, "of squealing. It is bad sportsmanship. They could have done much better by saying nothing, even if they had an impression, that everything was not to their satisfaction. I hope, the people of New Zealand will not take too much notice of them. From the point of view of fairness Mr. Irving's refereeing in the last Test could not have been improved upon. What really happened in the first Test was that the All Blacks met a much .better team. Australia won on their merits."
