THE MAORI ALL BLACKS,
DISAPPOINTMENT IN FRANCE,
Paris, September 20.
For the .Maoris in the match against Alpes, Falwasser and Bell scored tries in the first half, both being converted, and in the second half Falwasser scored two, both being converted, and Bell one which was not converted.
The disappointment at the Maoris performance is reflected in the criticisms. The Echo des Sports states that the Maoris did not rise to expectations. The team work appeared to be somewhat elementary, but all possessed remarkable physical resource.
The Lauto interviewed the referee, who said the victory was solely due to the Maoris’ speed and superior wind. The Alpiners performed remarkably, considering their limited training. The paper adds: “The Maoris will certainly be beaten at Narbonne and in England.”
The Wanganui Technical College team defeated the Palmerston N. High School representatives .at Wanganui yesterday, by 36 points to 12. The winners played fast and brilliant rugby, giving a spectacular display.
