The “Sporting Life’’ in a critical impression of the All Blacks, says:—• “Few of the Devon men had put on a hoot this season, so it was astounding that they compelled this thoroughlytrained and perteetly-organised combination io play such a game. In many ways the All Blacks were disappointing. Tn others, they were fascinating. Their forwards did not hook well, hut possibly, the 8-2-8 serum formation of their rivals was disconcerting. Tn alta'k. however, the All Black iorwnrds were immense. All very fast in loose a.nd bre.ak-awny. great speed, their height and strength in line outs make them formidable outsides. Lucas NvcnM ,n and Dailey will contribute much to ill,, sue'ess of the team. Their ability to give and take a reverse pass at lull speed is extraordinary.’’
