Al one stage in the second spell of yesterday’s match at Toowoomba the local players appeared likely to trouble the Maoris, whose lead was reduced to 19 —8, but lhe visitors’ lapse was only brief, and they entered into hard work for the remainder of the spell with even more determined effort. The last two tries by Broderick and McDonald left no doubt as to the team's physical fitness.

Stuart I’erkius writing in the Sydney Daily Telegraph, says: The’margin of victory was wide enough, but it was the manner of the Maori team'* achievement that left the more lasting impression. Once again the scores did not reveal truly the merit of the tourists’ performance. Over-eagerness discounted many fine movements. Perhaps lhe most pleasing feature of the Maoris’ display was the second hall power of lhe forwards, who dominated lhe play during the greater part of Hint period.
