HAVE STRANGE POWER TO WIN

LONDON. November 10. Commenting on the Rugby mutch at Bournemouth on Saturday the Daily Mail says: 44 1 t seems that there is some inevitable quality about the New Zealanders enabling them to wm matches—call it luck, opportunism, or what you will. Probahlv the Greeks had a word for it. Xhe fact remains that when ihe counties were only four points behind and the crowd was whipped into a state of excitement by the promise of a very close finish, the New Zealanders quietly raLlied, and the game was as good a s over.

Ehe New Zealanders have found foiward play in Britain vastly superior to wliat they had been Jed to cx-pec-t, hence the comparative eclipse of men like Manchester and McLean, who are obliged to spend most of their time shoving ;u the scrums instead of 1 ight-heartedl v joining in pacing movements like their predecessors.”

1 j u> Nvws ( hr'initie critic, in describing the movement leading to Harts try, says: “It was the best try I have seen them get.” This critic also remarks : “It would be wrong to suggest that there was ever any real danger ot defeat. One telt that they would always pull something out of the bag if the occasion demanded.”

The- Times says: - The All Blacks owed tins victory to the suiierior speed ol the three-quarters, and their extraordinary quickness in backing U J’- ?he latter virtue is the lesult of physic;;, fitness such as no crdiuarv club can hope to attain.”
