The game started well for Wales, with Davies scoring his only international points, a try in the first half which was converted by Jack Bancroft.
Three of the backs selected for the encounter, Spiller, Swansea centre Alf Thomas and fullback Jack Bancroft were all withdrawn injured after the teams met in a club clash the previous Saturday.
Davies played in his rugby in two parts of the United Kingdom, in Wales it was for Swansea, Glamoragn and Wales, while in the South of England he played for Exeter University, Plymouth Albion, and county rugby for Devon.
In 1913 he was suspended by both Wales and Devon for alleged professionalism, and in March he decided to sever links with the union game by 'Going North' and joining Leeds R.L.F.C.
[3] Davies played at centre in Leeds' 2–35 defeat by Huddersfield in the Championship Final during the 1914–15 season, and in the 11–3 victory over Dewsbury in the 1921 Yorkshire Cup Final during the 1921–22 season at Thrum Hall, Halifax on Saturday 26 November 1921.
