ALL BLACK BOOTH ON THE PROSPECTS OF THE 1908 N.S.W. TEAM FOR ENGLAND.
Unless county and club football has improved considerably in England since 1905-6, I have no hesitation in predicting a highly successful tour (writes E. Booth in the “ Sydney Referee.”) Better material is not to be found anywhere than in Sydney at the present time. The weight and pace offering in both front and rear will astonish the Old World. After travelling, training, and playing together, they should get a combination that will reach a higher standard than the man in the street here believes possible. They should register well over the 90 per cent, margin of wins, including internationals. I would counsel billeting the team upon arrival in England at a good, quiet country seaside resort.
