Berghan's Brilliance

Berghan's Brilliance

Of the players who took part in the two game. Trevor Berghan, the All Black five-eighths, must have been the answer to a New Zealand selector's dream. He was brilliant, If he does not choose to go to South Africa it will be a major Rugby tragedy for New Zealand. Steele and Cartwright, the South wings, wore excellent—dashing and hard-running. Carltwight will be heard of again and Otago must he very well off for wings if Steele is not a representative this season. Simpson of Otago is a half of the "Joey" Sadler type—not quite as brilliant, not quite as fast an "Joey" hut a good quick-moving and solid half. More too should he heard of him.

Of the North barks who did not gain selection in the New Zealand University side Rae and Mitchell went very well. Rae did not gel many chance in the first half of the match hill showed well in the second, and [unclear: Mitchell], marking the dashing [unclear: Steele,] himself showed dash and was plucky.
