 Yorkshire had been criticised in the press for fielding a weakened line @-@ up against the <unk> when the sides first met in December . After the unexpected loss , Yorkshire were determined to make <unk> and a strong side was selected for the county , including Fred <unk> , Richard <unk> and John Willie <unk> , all of whom would appear for England against the <unk> later that season . Described as " knocked about " and " stale " , the <unk> struggled to compete against such strong opposition , and Yorkshire scored three converted tries before a try to <unk> left the scores at 9 – 1 at half @-@ time . The second @-@ half was little better for the <unk> ; they conceded a further two tries as well as a drop @-@ goal . The second of these tries was scored by <unk> after he ran the ball from his own half . <unk> scored a converted try late in the match , but this didn 't prevent the <unk> suffering their largest defeat of the tour : 16 – 4 to the <unk> . <unk> later described the match as " without a <unk> , the biggest beating we received in our whole tour " .
