This 1966 NFU film shows highlights of the fourth rugby test between the touring British Lions and New Zealand's All Blacks. Filmed in the days before live telecast of home matches (it was feared attendance would be affected) the Eden Park test features some classical rucking and free-flowing back-line play. A broken collarbone reduces the Lions to 14 men early on (injury replacements were not allowed) and the All Blacks prevail 24-11. Coached by Fred Allen, a great AB line-up (the Meads bros, Tremain, Nathan, Gray, Lochore) won the series 4-0.

When a player scores a try, the others don't jump all over him with congratulations as they do today.
The Lions backs looked better but the All Blacks were better in the forwards.
It seems unfair that the Lions had to play with only 14 men due to an injury and the no replacement rule.
Great to see this.
