During their short tour of Europe in Autumn 1974 the All Blacks squeezed in this hastily arranged match with Wales. The match was played in midweek and was not a official international, despite both sides fielding full strength teams. So no caps were awarded and Wales were billed as a 'Welsh XV'. All Blacks captain Ian Kirkpatrick scored the game's only try as New Zealand ran out 12 -3 winners.

This match played mid-week had a bizarre status attached to it. It was officially a non-International match and Wales were called a Welsh 15 despite it being a full Welsh International team. The ABs who played were never awarded test caps for this match which they won 12-3.

In this match phil bennett demonstrated his sidestepping prowess when he avoided ian kirkpatrick at 2.48 on his way to a try for the A.B's

To be fair, Bennett was already going the other way and by the time he stopped Kirkpatrick was passing him.

2:50 For Kirkpatrick, this was possibly the most satisfying try of his career. The 1971/72 tour to Great Britain had not been a happy time for him - especially the Wales part of it. Edit: I meant the 1972/73 Tour.

The 72/73 tour was even worse!

Sid Going again completely outplayed Edwards

Even Gareth admitted that. Sid Going tended to get the better of him .

@@121zoso Sid Going is still the greatest half back to ever play the game. Could do things no other half could and was an absolute match winner. Cliff Morgan once said during a commentary after Sid scored against Ireland in 1973 in Dublin , ... " that is why they say , New Zealand is only half a team without Sid Going. "
