After the Lions wrapped the series last weekend after a controversial win, they now get the chance to get the brooms out and sweep the Aussies for the first time since 1966 when they toured both Australia and New Zealand. If you’re looking for a three-nil sweep, then you must go back to the Lions’ 1904 tour of Australia and New Zealand. The Lions won their last tour down under in 2013, 2-1.

Provided everyone stays fit and healthy, I’ve come up with a starting XV to take on the Lions when they do make the trip over. Plenty of the team already have Test Match experience which is a great sign for New Zealand rugby and how they’re bringing talent through the ranks. The French series was a great example of blooding new players, and I think we’ll…

New Zealand Player Ratings vs France In Hamilton
The All Blacks closed out a 3–0 sweep of Les Bleus in the opening test series of the international calendar with a 29–19 victory in Hamilton. The win came despite a lackluster first 40 minutes, where the array of changes made to the team may have left more questions than answers about the depth of this All Blacks squad.
