OBOLENSKY WELL WATCHED
United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, February 8. At Rugby Ireland beat England by 5 points to 3. Critics express the opinion that England’s display was disappointing after the victory against New Zealand, when she fielded almost the same team. On the other hand, the Irish forwards were, strengthened compared with the pack which met the All Blacks. Tlie. Englishmen suffered from a stormy Channel crossing and played poorly. The backs had many chances which thev were unable to use. Prijice Obolensky was bottled up. England led at half-time, but Ireland, despite the fact that they played with fourteen men for most of the second half, seized the scoring opportunities. Bailey was brilliant and scored the winning try two minutes before time.
