The Llanelli game against the Māoris was the first time a touring Southern Hemisphere team had played a rugby match in Wales, and a crowd of 3,000 turned up at Stradey Park to watch.
Griffiths finished on the winning team, when Harry Bowen scored the only points of the game with a dropped goal from near the halfway line.
[3] On the 22 December, Griffiths won his first international cap when he was chosen to face the New Zealand team again, this time against Wales at St. Helen's in Swansea.
[4] Even with a hostile crowd Wales played well, using the four threequarter system, which was adopted by the team after the game, to good effect.
*Not to be confused with Daniel Griffiths who is also of Welsh decent and currently plys his Rugby trade at Warrington RUFC.
