The stern fight that Cambridge gave the All Blacks is featured in most of the English newspapers. The “Daily Chronicle” says the eight hefty young undergraduate forwards stood up to the All Blacks in the manner of an international pack.
Reuter’s correspondent, in commenting on the match, Cambridge gave the New Zealanders a hard game from (lie star!. Both sets of backs indulged in frequent passing movements and the Cambridge line was in jeopardy on several occasions 'but the home defence withstood the onslaught well. The All Blacks were up aganst keen tackling and were seldom able to run far but allowance should be made on account of the slippery turf in the latter part of the second spell. The visitors’ defence was severely tested, the Cambridge forwards doing great work despite the slippery hall.
