The Fiji Legends scored a total of nine tries in the match.

The Classic Wallabies committed basic errors and gave away possession easily.
35-year-old William Ryder controlled the game well from the playmakers position, created gaps and set up tries and showed the crowd his sidesteps.
Lote Tuqiri and Sam Cordingley scored a try each for the Classic Wallabies.
The Fiji Legends had players like William Ryder, Lemeki Duidomo, Samu Saumaisue, Nasoni Roko, Emosi Vucago, Neumi Nanuku, Jonetani Vula and Viliame Satala.
