THE DISALLOWED GOAL
LONDON. December 1
Several of the New Zealand players who were near Tindill says the referee was correct in not awarding a dropped goal. Although the ball went over the bar an opponent touched it, which Tindill himself admits.
The New Zealanders. are not disappointed, and are not disturbed at the result, which was not due to the All Blacks' weakness but to a great display by the Ulster pack in conditions unquestionably favouring them.
Newspaper critics agree that the Ulster forwards triumphed in a battle in the mud. The "Observer" expressed the opinion that on a dry day the faster New Zealanders would have won, but were beaten by forwards in one of the hardest games they have ever had.
