Mitchinson gathered up the ball and passed to Roberts, who handed it to Wallace, who transferred to Fryer, who crossed the line. Wallace failed with the kick at goal. A few minutes later the ball passed through Mitchinson’s hands, and he passed to Fryer, who scored.

New Zealand.... ... 18 Queensland ... ... 3 Queensland, from a scrum, kicked up the centre, when Wallace stopped the ball with his body, but recovering it, broke away, and on being tackled passed on the blind side to Spencer, who sent it back and the blacks forced the game down to the line, where Wallace once again got possession and whipped it across to Mitchinson, who gave it to Fryer, who scored. Spencer took the kick and registered the only goal of the day.

The entry of fat sheep was about equal in numbers to that of last week, and included some very prime lines of wethers.
