[23] The final member to join the team was Scottish international Alf Bucher, after failed approaches were made to recruit fellow Scot James Couper and Welsh wing Viv Huzzey.

The decision by Mullineux to replace his position with Charles Adamson is seen as the tour's turning point,[49] which saw the British team begin to win matches by more convincing margins and eventually control the Tests.

[57] A full program of events had been scheduled with a preliminary rugby match played by local teams, Wallaroo, and Randwick at 1:45pm, as well as heats of a one-mile bicycle race by the League of Wheelmen.

Martelli, who had injured his thumb in the match against Goulburn,[71] and had taken the field against New South Wales, but had to retire due to injury,[72] recovered in time to play in place of Thompson.

[63] The British did show some deft ball handling skills in the game: The beautiful series of passes which gained the try for the Englishmen was considered as being an excellent object lesson in backing up.

[57][65] The reporter for the Sydney Morning Herald wrote that, From the press table, in the balcony of the members' pavilion, the interference appeared to be simply a jostle but it seemed hard to come to any other conclusion than that Kelly and Colton were off-side.

[57] In the following passage of play, Spragg received the ball by way of a scrum win and quick passes,[65] and made a dodgy run[57] to break through the British line and score a try about halfway between the corner and the goal posts.

Touch umpires: John Francomb and E J Beard[85] The second Test was played at the Brisbane Exhibition Ground, in front of 15,000 spectators: a record Queensland crowd for attendance at a rugby match.

[91] Additional entertainment was provided by the Headquarters Band,[91] who were criticised by the writer in the Brisbane Courier for playing their usual playlist, which included La mascotte and Dorothy, and not a fresh repertoire of music.
