Several fine runs were made by the Buenos Aires left wing, M. von Bernard, and the centre three-quarter. P. van Gelderen, two of which resulted in the two tries scored by the visitors. Had it not been for the tenacious defence of R. Smith, the Otago flanker, and B. Smith, the Otago full-back, Buenos Aires would almost certainly have scored more tries.

Work (wing) scored a try, and B. Smith kicked a penalty.
