YET THEY WON
ALL BLACKS CRITICISED. POSSIBLE TO “RATTLE” THEM. WHAT HEFTY FORWARDS MAY DO BY CABLE—PEES 3 ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Nov. 4, 11.55 a.m. LONDON, Nov. .8. Although miserable weather conditions scarcely allowed an accurate summing up of the New Zealanders’ real abilities against a representative side, correspondents who- journeyed to Dublin appear to have come to the conclusion that it is quite possible to “rattle” the All Blacks, and that hefty worrying forwards supported 'by. skilful backs can beat them. Several prominent critics contend that England would have beaten Ireland by. a bigger margin. The Athletic News gives prominence to the fact that the game revealed the New 7 Zealanders’ adaptability. It says: Henceforward we will hesitate to assume that- heavy ground and a wet ball are equivalent to a serious handicap to the visitors. They are i y no means only fine weather players.
