Match Notes
This game was referred to as the Dominion Insurance Test for sponsorship purposes.
Tries were still only worth 3 points in Europe when this game was played. 5 minute sin bins and Scicchitano missed penalty goal attempt verified against match video.
After the game, NZ referee Don Wilson was quoted as saying "I know some people will blame me for this, but this was the worst game I have ever refereed."
