POOR RUGBY FORWARDS
"Never in my life have 1 seen such a poor standard in our forward football," said Mr. L. B. Callaghan, at the meeting of the Council of the New South Wales Rugby Union. "Our international forward standard in matches against the All Blacks was very low. We had the spectacle of our hooker, a fast striker, getting the ball, only to see it taken by tho New Zealand front row. If wo are to have the bright open game, tho part that forwards play in it must not be forgotten."
