INTERNATIONAL RUGBY.
PROBLEM IN GREAT BRITAIN. i An Knglish Rugby writer, commenting J upon the success of the Springboks in their international matches in Great Britain, says the continued dominance of oversells teams is distinctly disconcerting. The South Africans equalled the record of the 1924 All Blacks, who defeated in turn Wales. Ireland and England (they d : d not meet Scotland), and although the present party have, never been dubbed the equals of that all-conquering combination, and have had to run the gauntlet of criticism for over-indulgence in kicking, the fact remains they have successfully solved all their representative match problems. England, in fact, gave them less trouble than Ireland or Wales, for both the latter countries established slight leads at the interval, only to fall victims to the tourists' superior staying power. At. Twickenham, England as an attacking force was rarely in the picture.
