The Springboks defeated Toowoomba to-day by GO points to nil. There was an attendance f»Y 'IOOO, and the gate receipts amounted to .11300. The teams were:—

Springboks: Brand, Lyster, White, Bcslcr, Lochncr, Van Dc Vyvor, Craven, Nel, “Boy" Louw, Martin, Van Reenan, Shorin', Vnnderbcrg, Jennings, and Bergh. Toowoomba: Garthe. C. Meibusch, Hayes, East, R.

Tries were scored by Lyster (3), Van Reenan (2), Berg, Van De V.vver, Vandenberg, Bcster, Lochner, Jennings and Craven. Brand converted nine tries and kicked two penalty goals. The Springboks, who are improving with every match, showed greater resource in backing up than in previous matches. They were not impressive early, but immediately Lochner came to centre and Bester went to the wing, play livened up. Toowoomba made the Springboks play harder than the Australian XV on Saturday, but Craven could not be kept quiet. Van Reenan was the star forward.

An interesting player for Toowoomba was Lee. who played for the Wairarapa Union against the 1921 Springboks. Sheriff was hurt, and retired, but the muscle wrench he suffered was not serious.
