"BOY" LOUW EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS 2ND HOUSE ON THE LEFT HAND 1 Camp bed-No name.
Sydney, July 17.
YOUNG and old Rugby enthusiasts crowded the rooms of the New South Wales Rugby Union yesterday, and heard an instructive lecture by a noted student of forward play, "Boy Louw, of the Springbok team.
LOUW CONTRÄSTED THE SOUTH AFRICAN STYLE OF PLAY WITH THAT OF AUSTRALIA, AND MENTIONED POINTS WHERE HE THOUGHT AUSTRALIA COULD MAKE IMPROVE- MENT, AND SPOKE OF DIFFERENCES IN INTERPRETATIONS BY REFEREES.
He pointed out that South Africa developed heavier forwards than Australia did, but he had known comparatively light packs in South Africa to be successful in the scrams, because of the correct application of weight by évery man.
