The Springboks are improving with every match. They showed greater resource in backing up than in previous matches.

The Springboks were not impressive early, but immediately Lochner went to centre and Bester to the wing play livened up. v Craven could not be kept quiet, while Van Reenan was the star forward. An interesting player lor Toowoomba was Lee, who played for the W airarapa Union against the Springboks in 1921. Sheriff, tho Springboks forward, retired with a muscle wrench, but the injury is not serious.
