The.' New South Wales backs m the early | stages made amends for the cleverness, i vigour, and footwork of the New Zealand forwards. , Thanks to the fine goal- j kicking of Ifwerson, and the high-class individual play of Ifwerson and Mann-! I ing, the New Zealanders secured a grip on the game in the second spell. More- 1 over, their passing became surer. Their I backing up was excellent, and they had | hard luck in being beaten on the post. New South Wales excelled in passingand combination, and the New Zealand-1 ers excelled in footwork during tlje rushes. Both teams tackled very safely The first score was from a passing rush among the New South Wales threequarters, Devereux forcing his way over. Then Deane scored cleverly at the corner. New Zealand's first score was a penalty goal by Ifwerson. Shortly afterwards' Walters and W. Mitchell made an opening, from which Chad'bolt made a long run along the line and scored. Ifwerson shortly afterwards kicked a fine penalty goal, giving New Zealand a point lead. New South Wales, playing with much' dash, crossed the line twice, Bro'omham and Norman scoring.
