. Com irigiit)

Received Weanesday, 9.20 a.m. CAPETOWN, ,JUiy 12, After another liiTe work-out today, in which ihtense acruminagihg ; was a feature, tne All Blacks received a great uplift when Scott kicked a goal from 40 yards out and Kearney sithnmed three pots from a stmiiar position over tne centre oi' the posts. ' , , . , Usually this pair stay hehmd after .pracoice, accompaniedk hy Goddard and Delamore, and ha,vq. shots at goal. Today Scott 'seemfed! 1 in. no Tnood.for this following-. his complete iosS of goal-kicking . ioi'-m, but as the players "troope'd off tiifcs field someone shouted: "Try. pne,-^ and let go at that." Ti: Scott nonchalantiV picked up the ball and, to the accompaniment of a great burst of cheering from his team mates, p-aced' it on the ground' and sent the ball soaring over the centre of the posts. "That will do me," he said, and raced • after the ball and kicked it to Kearney with an - iniunction to have a pot. Three times Kearney slammed the pots aiso over the centre of the posts, and the pair then raced off the field and spent a rowdy time j ostling each other under the showers. The general teamwork has shown such a vast improvement that it is felt that if Scott and Kearney "click" wiih the gial kicking on Saturday, the All Blacks will win the test.
