The New Zealand forwards were primarily responsible for the win of the All Blacks, but they were not impressive as a .pack. . The referee, however, impartially penalised every Indoor infringement, thus slowing up the’ game so much that the crowd protested against it 'Occasionally New 'South Wales 'had th© territorial' advantage during - the greater put of the first half, which was scoreless, although the New Zealand forwards were superior in hooking and m the lineouvrs. Only '\at times , did khe play rise above the; provincial.'standard.
