Comments on Form.

Throughout the series the forwards have proved a hardworking pack and have given the backs a fair share of the ball. Amongst the forwards, Barker, Eade and Russell have shown up as hard workers, while Blacker is a fine leader and a good man in the tight. In one game, against Oriental, the club captain replaced Chesterman at half-time, and was the best forward on the field.

Amongst the backs, Tricklebank has been outstanding. In every game he has given a good display, his line-kicking and handling being excellent. He can kick with both feet—very useful and really essential in a full-back.

The wings, Harpur and McElwain, have been disappointing. Harpur should run straight and hard. He is a strong runner with a useful fend. He is, however, overfond of kicking, and is inclined to hold on too much. McElwain is very fast and usually has no difficulty in running round his man. In his last two games McElwain has shown a distinct improvement and shown up to advantage.

O'Regan at centre has been unreliable, and his handling has been weak. He has a good cut-in, but seems to be unable to finish off the movement. Wild, Overtoun, and Paul have all played in the five-eighth position. Wild has shown a return to form, and his tries against St. Pat's and Berhampore were good efforts although the first was just a bit lucky. His tackling has improved immensely. Overtoun is playing well and combines well. He is inclined to cut in too much and should very his play more. Paul has been playing well at first, but kicks too much.

Rae has been playing football of a high standard. With monotonous regularity he has been scoring a spectacular solo try per week.
