The score at half-time was 13 to 11 in favour of Australia, but in the second half the All Blacks took complete charge, tries coming easily and frequently. In snite of the wide margin, the contest was very spectacular, and was played at a great pace throughout. The Australian forwards held the oposition well in the first spell, winning the ball from the scrums and lineouts.

The day was ideal for football, with bright sunshine -and the ground was in perfect condition. There was an attendance of 25,000,
