'Sour grapes’
PA Wellington The retiring N.Z.R.F.U. president, Charlie Rhodes, wondered whether the games he saw on the AU Black tour of Britain were the same as those watched by’ J. B. G. Thomas. Mr Rhodes, referring to comments by Thomas that
Graham Mourie’s Alt Blacks were lucky and had been generously treated by British referees, said the team should be recognised as a great one. He described the remarks by Thomas, in a book about to be published in London, as “sour grapes.”
