IRISH FORWARDS
OUTWEIGHED BY ALL BLACKS. WEARING DOWN PROCESS. FINELY DEFENDED GAME. BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT. (Received Nov. 3, 11 a.m.) DUBLIN, Nov. 2. The ground was heavy as a result of the soaking rain. For the first twenty minutes the Irish forwards played splendidly, although they only twice seriously threatened the visitors’ line, but gradually the New Zealanders began to hold the Irish pack. Both sides found difficulty in handling the greasy ball. ' ? The Irish forwards were outweighed and got possession of only six out of twenty serums in the first half, but .gave a grand display in the loose. In the second spell, during a continuous downpour of rain, they made a number of determined rushes, but failed to beat the scientific defence. The. game was finely defended on both sides to the end.' [A full report of the match appears on page 3.]
