Notes

  1. 1 2 An Australian representative side (largely from the St. George club and the New South Wales state team) participated and had been labelled as "Australia" by the organisers. [2] These games were not recognised as official Australian A-internationals, but the players achievements were recognised as such in 2023. [3]
