Note: Under the rules then in place for determining the winner, the result was four goals and four tries to one goal. New South Wales' four goals comprised the two converted tries (or touch-downs) and the two drop-goals. The additional four tries were the unsuccessful conversion goal kicks for four out of the six touch-downs. Queensland failed with a penalty place kick at goal, but were successful with a drop goal.


Following their win over the Wallaroo Club on Saturday, 19 August, the Queensland team requested the opportunity to again meet a combined New South Wales side, in a return match. After consultation with the shipping company on which the Queensland team were booked to depart Sydney, arrangements were made to kick-off this second intercolonial game at 2.30pm, Tuesday, and convey the team to the steamer shortly after the game concluded. [43]

Note: The combined New South Wales team secured six touch-downs, with two of the attempts at goal being successful, and four missed tries.

Matches

Match reports published in New Zealand newspapers were subsequently reprinted in Sydney newspapers. For example, a report on the opening match that initially appeared in The New Zealand Herald, and was later reprinted in The Sydney Morning Herald. [54]

Unlike Sydney's Southern Rugby Union, matches in New Zealand awarded points for goals and touchdowns. The points system in New Zealand was: [55]

  • 5 points for a goal from a try. Put another way, 5 points when the try for goal succeeds.
  • 2 points for a touchdown when the attempt at goal is missed. Put another way, 2 points when the try for goal fails.
  • 4 points for a goal from the field, as occurred in the 29 September match against Wellington, [56] and twice in the 3 October match against Auckland. [57]

Other Football Codes

Match reports and other relevant articles in 1882 newspapers generally did not make an immediately obvious distinction between football codes. Several clubs played Australian Rules Football under the auspices, and in affiliation with, the New South Wales Football Association. In many instances, the code being reported on in newspapers could be determined by tries and touch-downs in Rugby Union and behinds in Australian Rules.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Australian rules football in New South Wales</span>

In New South Wales, Australian rules football dates back to the 1860s colonial era, with organised competitions being continuous since the 1880s. Today, it is popular in several regions of the state, including areas near the Victorian and South Australian borders—in the Riverina, Broken Hill, and South Coast. These areas form part of an Australian cultural divide described as the Barassi Line. To the west of the line it is commonly known as "football" or "Australian Football" and to east of the line, it is known by the acronym "AFL" used by the Australian Football League competition. There are more than 15 regional leagues though some are run from other states, the highest profile are AFL Sydney and the Riverina Football Netball League. AFL NSW/ACT is the main development body. With 71,481 registered players, it has the third most of any jurisdiction.

The New South Wales Football Association was the governing body for Australian rules football in New South Wales between 1880 and 1893. It oversaw an Australian rules competition based in Sydney and governed the Laws of Australian Football in the colony. Matches were mostly played at Moore Park in Sydney. The competition is a predecessor to the current Sydney AFL, with some clubs, notably Sydney and East Sydney being reformed as foundation clubs of that competition in 1903. The game's early presence in Sydney is poorly documented, partly due to the bitter distaste that the Sydney media's displayed toward the Victorian code.

Sydney University Football Club successfully defended the premiership, completing the season undefeated for the third time. During the season a number of representative matches were played. In June players were selected to represent New South Wales against a visiting intercolonial team known as the New Zealand Natives.

The 1882 New South Wales tour of New Zealand was a rugby union tour of New Zealand undertaken by a team from the colony of New South Wales under the auspices of the Southern Rugby Football Union. The team of sixteen players was drawn from seven clubs. A factor in selection was availability.
