ATTACKING WEAKNESS
ORTHODOX MOVEMENTS
LONDON, November 3,
The "Dispatch" regards the All Blacks' display as unconvincing, although it admits that New Zealand was handicapped owing to injuries.
It adds that although they defended grandly, their weakness on attack disappointed the . crowd. The counties, despite the fact that they were a man short in the second half* battered New Zealand's pride in a manner auguring well for the.home sides in the coming internationals. The All Blacks did not depart from orthodoxy in their efforts to break through players whose tackling was as good as theirs.
The "Observer" points out that the All Blacks did' not show evidence of planning scoring movements. They seemed to prefer snapping up opportunities from their opponents' mistakes.
