Scoring sequence (Japan's score shown first): 2min-drop goal QLD, P.E. McLean-0-3, 13min-try QLD, Moon; conv. P. McLean-0-9, 20min-pen QLD, P.E. McLean-0-12, 20min-pen Japan, Ueyama-3-12, 30min-pen QLD, P.E. McLean-3-14, 36min-try QLD, Noon; conv. P.E. McLean-3-21, Half-time, 40min-pen QLD, P.E.

McLean (missed)-3-38, 75min-drop goal Japan, Hoshino-6-38, 79min-try QLD, Moon; conv. P.E. McLean (missed)-6-42.
The Queensland State Team was strong; seven of the players were current members of the Wallabies (Australia National Rugby Union Team). Japan, plagued by self-doubt, scored only one penalty, one drop goal and no tries (total 6 points) and lost the game. “Their floating pass while leaning their body weight on the opponent's tackler is admirable,” coach Hisashi Yokoi forgot the disappointment and praised the Queensland State Team. Coach Saito said that “We could not gain possession, and had no chance to attack. We will have France, the most powerful team in the world, in Japan this September. The objectives of the match today were to overcome the ‘Scotland shock' last autumn, as well as to develop a prospect for the match against France. However, the forwards could not get the ball, and the backs, our only ‘big gun' regarded as world-class, were smashed, too. We thought that we had finally caught up with the rest of the world, but that turned out to be nothing more than a dream. The world is far-off.”
