a convincing victory in the second Test at Lancaster Park this afternoon, winning a game full of interest by 13 points to 6, and outclassing the All Blacks to finish with plenty of punch in reserve. A huge crowd, officially estimated at 45,000, became excited to fever point in the first half as New Zealand built up a sixto nil margin, which it .seemed would be hard to overtake, but in the second half the Springbok .forwards took charge of the game and, after running the All Black pack at one stage almost to a standstill, had no difficulty in getting on top on points and holding the advantage. New Zealand's .first try came when Sullivan, capped a movement in which Rankin, Trevathan, and Phillips were among the. participants. Then there was. a remarkable try,. again: by Sulli-van,-■•who had a:great race with Williams." Neither try was converted. 6-0. Early in the second , spell Turner scored for South Africa?
