COMMENT ON TEST. (Australian Press Association) (Received this day at 12.2/5. p.m.‘ SYDNEY, July 22. ~ The ‘ ‘ Telegraph Pictorial : ’ says though the defeat may be disheartening, New Zealand prestige is unshaken, as the team was disorganised through injuries. Oliver was playing the best game on the field when lie was carried off. The absence of Nepia, Dailey, and Stringfellow made Porter realise Now Zealand’s precarious position. He decided to strip without consulting a doctor and although lacking in match practice, it was the Porter of old. The “ Guardian ” says Malcolm at half for Australia was the hero oif the day, giving" a masterly display behind the pack. Tuck in .Dailey’s place at half was the weak link in the New Zealanders back division. The final fifteen minutes was epic. Grimly the All Blacks buffeted the home defence, but the Australians held out despite the severity of the attack. McGee was a shining light in co-operation with Malcolm.
