N.S. WARES TEST MATCH. (I'lirislelturch Press.) New South AVitles heat. New Zealand by 17 points to nil in Saturday’s Rugby match at baneaster Park. 'I he result was by no m“ans a. surprise, bo Mf d only were tlie visitors teganb'd as a fast (-’lll l> ined team, '"it th" New land lil'teeii had not pt';n ti-' d together pi ini' to the man h. and -nine ol ! plavr- had only arrived in Clirislehureli mi the day of the mateli. < 'rigiaally si ha led as a B team, ill" New Zealand til teen was heavily rein forced at the last- minute by the inclusion ol E. Roberts, but although In' played a very fine game as far ne his opportun-tb-s went. In' found his | ore. a I (is well hen ten foe the ball both in *<llllll- an line-outs while Ii is back* were <>xtr<*mcjly weak both in clinch and defence, j I’rohahly a weaker New Zealand team I tins never taken the field. They wen- ' outplayed in every department ,»i t,.e | game, and Bill for carelessness ant ! over-eagerness by tlie vision's the score 1 might, have heen doubled. The A'l ' I'iiiioks were starved in attack, hut they did not even make a pretence of sound j defence, and their display way so rag- ' god that thousands of spectators let t ' the ground a (piaiter of an hour before the mateli ended. There were four Canterbury men in the home team. , Cumniings and Peterson, in the for- , wards, played a fair game, bid H ! whole pack were run oil’ their legs by weak bmk play. Ford, ntt the h‘!t wing, was clever in aitaek. hut net sound ill defence while Evans, at lull back, was positively brilliant at limes, j but marred bis game by a couple < j very bad fumbles. The glaring weakness of the Inset's, however, lay wit'' | the live-eiglillis and to a lossoi degree Hi litre llireo-iiyinrte.r. who we unable to field or handle the hull a r ■ eurately. New sjoiilh Wales played a liright. passing game, thanks to a d . eided siiperiorily in ennihinat inn and , good understanding between harks and ! forwards. The inside backs were voiy I quick to start an attack from any pn*ijliou. Tlie weakness of I In' team w , in l'espcet to tlie passing of the throo- , <lll i>rlHi's when they wen: undei pressure. Not tiling, the visitors' full-back, played a faultless game, which was greatly appreciated by tile spectators i Tile game was jilaved ill a fine spirit. and there was mi suspicion nt' rough ! play at any stage | Tho takings were roughly £lcoo. as ! compared with L'lolil) a.t the Spring j boks’ mateli and the attendance was . estimated ai. 12.
