What's the greatest match ever played?

Have the All Blacks ever played a test match in the USA? if so when and where?

  • The All Blacks have played against the USA but I am not sure if they have played in New Zealand or if they have had a test mach in the USA

  • Answer:

    Actually yes. It was actually a long time ago, back in 1913. The ABs won 51-3 against a team called U.S. All Stars. I don't know the background to this - in the pre-professional era it was common for NZ to play games in the U.S. or Canada either as warm-up games prior to touring Great Britain, or alternatively as a sort of wind-down on the way home. Back then (and right up to around the 1970s) it was pretty much unknown for 'Test Match' status to be awarded for matches against countries outside the big 8 (The 4 British countries, France, South Africa, Australia and the British Combined team - The Lions). However, for some reason, the match against USA in 1913 was an exception and test match status was awarded.
