BRISBANE, July 25.

Experts are of opinion that in yesterday's match the Queenslanders were outclassed in all branches of the game, and that the best team won.

The Courier newspaper comments thus: " You cannot expect a man to stop the kick of a horse, and it was hardly reasonable to expect the tree kangaroo to stop the kick of the moa when in his most kickful mood, seeing that the big kangaroo was unable last Saturday to stop the self-same kicks. The playing, of the All Blacks has the power, strength, and conviction of a kick from a horse."

The Daily Mail says: "In the fine points of the game the local men were

beaten, and in handling the ball the difference was most marked. At the

same time many are of opinion that the Blacks' play yesterday could not be compared with the form shown by previous New Zealand combinations."
