BAD MISTAKE
IN MAORIS’ PLAY
NO SIDE EVER WASTED SO 'MANY OPPORTUNITIES.”
LONDON, Nov. 39. Reviewing the Maoris’ tour, the Daily News says:— ■’Surely no side ever wasted so many opportunities. It is no exaggeration to say that in the last eight matches they'have thrown away at least two tries per match through mistakes at critical moments when the opposition lias been thoroughly beaten. It is a remarkable fact that the dropped goal scored by Leicester on November 27 was the only one of the tour. It was the only real attempt- to bring off such a score. The Maoris have been strangely indifferent to the tactical side of the game.” —A. and N.Z.C.A.
