Near the end of the spell Co »- den was injured by a solid tack e and the All Blacks finished with '.4 men, His vis a vis Williams, was so - erely gashed on the face just bel'O e half-time, after he had levelled tie scores, and was late returning in t <e second spell. Despite the handle: p the All Blacks never let up. T..e forwards played a wonderful gam 3, ovary one doing his share.

Hoop jr wa» a real live wire though the co ering-up tactics of the Springbo «s batted his dashes after he had c it through. Simon gave good servo e and Trevathan rose to the occasu n grandly. Sullivan was not a greit deal in evidence but his pace wis always valuable. Dick played splendidly on the right wing. Tne Springboks were made to look a different team from iast week.
