ALL BLACK FORM

mcgregor and harvey go well DISPLAY WORST ON TOUR. United Press Assn—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright OUDTSHOORN, August 22. Taken all through the All Blacks’ game against South Western Provinces was a sluggish one, probably the worst display the New; Zealanders have- given on the trip. AlcGregor and Harvey, who have been out for so * long, put up good performances. Nicholls, Strang, Carleton and Lucas played reasonably well,, while Rushbrook and Scrimshaw made occasional good breaks. Lindsay had a shoulder hurt in the first spell and this plainly affected his play. Ward, Hadley, AlcWilliams and Snow were good in patches. There was no spark in the New' Zealanders’ play, but at the same time the Western Provinces’ fight must not be disparaged, considering that they are regarded as the weakest team in the union.
