The Maori Rugby League team beat Metropolis 22 to 20 at Sydney Sports Ground. Joe Murray kicked the deciding goal in the final minute for the visitors, who secured their fourth tour win. Metropolis led 20-5 at halftime but were edged in the second half as both sides showed weak cohesion and few Kangaroo selections emerged.
