SPRINGBOKS WILL WIN?
CRITICS’ PREDICTIONS FIERCE FORWARD COMBAT (Special to Press Association) MARITZBURG, June 22. Several papers have published articles saying that the Springboks will win the iirst Test. Mr F. M. Howand, in an article in the Rand Daily Mail, says that the All
Blacks after seven, matches are not up to expectations, failing short of the famous 1924 side. He says the Spring-
boks will win. next Saturday ’s Test. There is not the slightest doubt that the All Blacks will have to play much better football than they have done so far. Although, the backs have played some brilliant football they would not get away with it against a South African aide.
it is recognised that as in most Rugby battles the Test.match will be chiefly a fierce forward combat. Mostert and. Kruger, of the probable Test side are the only players who toured New Zealand with the 1921 Springboks.
