Tho Springboks' sweeping victory is discussed in several exclusive articles in tho athletic pages. Reviewing tho game, Mark Nicholls, noted international and New Zealand selector, writes:—"This match was a triumph, both individually and collectively, for the South Africans. In each position, and as a team, tho Springboks were immeasurably superior. They may bo tho best team that South Africa has ever produced; they are, I think, tho equal of any All Black team that I havo seen or been associated with."
