Rec. July 14, 11.35 p.m. BRISBANE, Thursday. _ Playing with delightful combination, the New Zealanders overwhelmed the combined Brisbane-Ipswich fifteen at Ipswich showgrounds by 44_ to 12, hefore a crowd of 3.000. Injuries to McGhie and Vincent, who were replaced by Rason and Clark, weakened the local side. Lilburne led the New Zealanders and Steggall eaptained the. local team. Collins opened the score with a penalty goal, Steggall replying three minutes afterwards. Innes, Collins, Metcalf and. McLean combined in a great passing rush, McLean crossing. McLean, Holder and Bullock-Douglas combined, the latter scoring a faultless try. Steggall then kicked a penalty goal for the local side. The New Zealanders afterward en-

gaged m short snappy passing, in which Manchester, Collins and Metcalf featured. Collins scored uncler the posts. Holder converted. The backs then toolc a tnrn, Holder breaking through, passed to Bul-lock-Douf|as, who reversed to Holder as the latter scored, but failed to convert. The next try came when Corner worlced the blind side and passed to Bullock-Douglas who sent McLean over at the corner and converted. Innes, who was continually breaking through, sent Caughey over to score another try for the tourists hefore half time. It was not converted. N.Z. 26, Brisb ane-Ipswich 6. Second Spell Tho second half found the New

Zealanders in a brilliant mood. Collins landed a penalty goal and Lilburne followed with a field goal. Further points were added when Manchester forced his way across for a try which was not converted. Purdue was eaught off-side and Steggall kicked a penalty goal. Continuing to play brilliantly, New Zealand again crossed the home team's line, Bullock-Douglas intercepting a pass on the wing, and he sent to McLean, who later returned to BullockDouglas, who scored. Clark started the final movement, McLean and Metcalf combining and the last named scored. Nevey Extended The winners never extended themselves, and could have piled up many more points. The handling and passing of the backs and forwards was excellent, and tho backing-up was ! magnificent. McLean was the star of the match, Purdue, Manchester and Clark also played a great game. Among the forwards Innes was at top form and frequently sliced through the defence until Arnell was speeially placed to mark him. Bullock-Dou.glas impressed as an attackcr. Collins was safe and Holder bright. Lilburne and Corner suffered in comparison with the other New Zealand backs, while Caughey took things easily on the right wing. The combined fifteen played pluckily enough, Steggall, Arnell and Whyatt doing the best. Steggall was particularly snappy. The New Zealanders' play is adjudged by the critics as the best of the tour and a convincing rehearsal for the Test match. The game was played in ideal weather, which is predicted to continue for Saturday. The party is in great spirits, pulling together for an ashes victory-
