Australian Schools Barbarians contributed two penalties, their only scoring plays in the match, to trail by just 7-6 midway through the first half.

Wing Etene Nanai scored the first of his double courtesy of some slick cross-field passing, while prop George Dyer and lock Tupou Vaa’i also crossed for first half tries.
