Actually the Buller for,warcl line was impressive with the former Canterbury representative. E. Radclitte, L. Barry and J. Euart outstanding. In the Buller half line, N. Gillovic and T. Eggleton were :in great form. Only for the great goal-keeping of J. Pointon, who was called on to save more than the Buller man, Australia must have lost. D.
