(AUSTRALIAN AND K.Z. CABLE ASSOCTATIOX.} LONDON. November 3. Although the miserable weather conditions scarcely allowed an accurate summing-up of the New Zealanders' real abilities against a representative side, correspondents who journeyed to Dublin appear to have come to the conclusion that it is quite possible to rattle the All Blacks, and that hefty, worrying forwards, supported by skilful backs, can heat them. Several prominent critics contend that England would have beaten Ireland by a bigger margin. The ''Athletic News" gives prominence to the fact that tho game revealed the New , Zealanders' adaptability. "Henceforward," says the "News," "wo will hesitate to assume that a heavy ground and a wet ball are equivalent to a serious handicap to the visitors. They are by no means only fine-weather players."
