WHO WAS EATEN?
BY SI N BAD. 3 lie critics at Home must be tearing tlieir hair, when All Black displays they attempt to review. The task is sufficient to drive to despair the wiliest scribe that the Press ever knew. They first tackle Devon. The papers proclaim that we must have much overrated our team, for plainly “ they don’t know a thing of the game. Yet rashly to conquer old England they dream.” The tactics of Porter they soundly condemn. They don’t like- our method of packing the scrum, and even the haka seems hateful to them, and spectators greet it in fashion most glum. When Gloucester and Somerset put up a light, the papers of England continued their tale, and gave their opinion to left and to right, that laced by the Welshmen, New Zealand would fail. “ Just wait till you get into Wales,” was the cry. “Your men will be eaten and never know why.” Well, ono of the matches in AY ales has gone by, and Swansea, I think, should bo wiser by now.
