The falling away from their best standard was pretty general on the losers' side. Even Glibert failed for once to register some sort of a goal. and The backs generally lacked inspiration and finish. I think Sadler Grimthe might have proved better than the men who superseded them. but it was England's day out and no matter who had been played by the All-Blacks I think the Old Country

Finally a vote of congratulation to Mr. Faull, of Wales, for his excellent refereeing-only 13 free kicks!-and another, equally unanimous, to the English selectors for picking such n splendid side.
