FOOTBALL.
The All Blacks tour.
Brisbane, July 25
Experts are of opinion that in yesterday’s match the Queenslanders were outclassed in all branches of the. game, and that the best team won. The Courier comments :—“ You cannot expect a man to stop the kick of a horse, and it was hardly reasonable to expect the wee kangaroo to stop the kick of the moa when in his most kickful mood, seeing that the big kangaroo was unable last Saturday to stop the self-same kicks. The playing of the ‘ All Blacks ’ has the power of strength and conviction of the kick from a horse.
The Daily Mail says : —“ In the fine points of the game the local men were beaten, and in handling the ball the difference was most marked. At the same time many are of opinion that the ‘ All Blacks ’ play yesterday could not be compared with the form shown by previous New Zealand combinations.”
