ALL BLACKS HOME AGAIN
WELCOME AT AUCKLAND “DISSENSIONS” RIDICULED (Press Association.) AUCKLAND, October 9. Five members of the All Black team returned by the Marama, and were welcomed by the Rugby Union officials. Asked what’s all this trouble about Brownlee, one of the team replied: It’s all piffle. I don’t know how anyone could suggest there was any funny business with Maurie. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. This story of two camps was all rot. All the team pulled well together, and the only arguments that took place were at team talks when tactics were threshed out, but that was what the team talks were for.
Lucas expressed the opinion that the New Zealanders should stick to their own rules, but he certainly thought we would have to start serious scrummaging. That was the biggest lesson the team learned from the Springboks.
