The second test was played in Wellington at Athletic Park. And the weather in New Zealand produced its usual gale-force winds. Captain Andy Dalton opted to play with the wind in the first half. New Zealand’s took a 9-0 lead into the break.

But, the All Blacks forwards rucked and drove superbly. Scrum-half Dave Loveridge produced a truly classic performance. And New Zealand’s supreme discipline under pressure denied the Lions a single kickable shot at goal. The game finished in defeat for the Lions tourists who were unable to score a single point.

All Blacks inflict whitewash on Lions tourists

In the Third Test. The Lions scored two tries to one. But again fell victim to the All Blacks in foul conditions. As the hosts’ pack and Loveridge combined in another definitive display of wet-weather rugby. Stu Wilson scored their only try. Drawing level with back-rower Ian Kirkpatrick as the All Blacks’ all-time leading try-scorer with 16.

By the time his All Black career had ended, following the final test at Auckland. He was three ahead of Kirkpatrick. His hat trick was the highlight of a devastating display of fifteen-man rugby which produced six tries in a 38-6 win.
