“ALL BLACKS TALKED TOO MUCH”
CHRISTCHURCH. This Day
The view that, judging by one match he saw. the All Blacks were inclined to talk too much during their games at Home was expressed yesterday 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 lie 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, “and the kicking was very bad on the part of the New Zealanders. They talked so much and so loudly that we could hear them up in the stand. Mrs Anderson’s nephew told told us thtt 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.”
