England Had A Harder Job Of It Disposing Of Ireland And Wales
Says "HANLINCODE"
At the Navy Ground, Causeway Bay, on Saturday, a good crowd of rugger fans saw Scotland beat the Internationals by a small margin and England beat the Ireland, Wales XV by six points.
The first game between Scotland and the Rebels was, until the last quarter of an hour, anyone's game. It was then that the Scottish pack seemed to settle down and the threes to work together as a line. Credit must be given to the Rebels for the very fine show that they put up. On paper the task looked pretty hopeless but, with Forsgate unable to play for Scotia, this evened things up a little in the van.
The Rebel forwards put all they hd Into the game and led by Thorneycroft they certainly put up a splendid show. Their neeling superior to Scotland's and he
them Bleakley and Sherrard-Smith played a very sound game. Snow at fullback played his usual fine game.

After this the game was fast and furious but no further genre was chalked up and so Scotland pass into the final.
It was a second half full of thrills for the fans because whilst England never looked lice losing, the Irish lived up to their reputation for fighting| and they were more than ably assisted by the Welsh elements of the team.
England scored again in the second half when Layton went over for out. Hutson missed the kick.
The next one was scored by Gregson, who
