South Island rugby league team

In past years the North Island team was dominated by players from the Auckland competition however the North Island team on this occasion featured players from outside Auckland such as Ted Meyer, Dick Trautvetter, Bob Stephenson, Joe Menzies, Tom Timms, and T Bergan.

Jim Amos left the field with an injured shoulder for the South Island team and was replaced by E O'Brien.

Roy Bright, Wilf Hassan and McNeil (Richmond) were selected to play for the North Island but were unavailable.

The North Island had 3 players debuting, Bill Telford, Ted Mincham, and W. Large (Hawke's Bay).

In the meantime he had passed the ball and play moved away but was forced to stop once the referee realised what had happened.
