ALL BLACKS TALKED TOO MUCH.
IMPRESSIONS OF A NEW
ZEALANDER
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. The view that, judging by the one match he saw, the All Blacks were inclined to talk too much during their games at Home, was expressed to-day by Dr. Douglas Anderson, who has returned to Christchurch after a tour of the United Kingdom. Dr. Anderson said that he saw the match against London Counties, in which he and Mrs Anderson were particularly interested, as Mrs Anderson’s nephew, a Blackheath player, was in the’ Counties’ team.
“The game was very disappointing,” said Dr. Anderson, **aAia the kicking was very bad on the part ol’ the New Zealanders, They talked so much and so loudly that we could hear them up in the stand. Mrs Anderson’s nephew told us that he thoroughly enjoyed playing against the New Zealanders, but that they talked far too much. I heard the same opinion expressed in other parts of England.”
