IT was Australia. In 1882, New Zealand's first internationals were played when the Southern Rugby Union (later named The New South Wales Rugby Union) toured the country. The first tour by a British team took place in 1888 when a British Isles team toured Australia and New Zealand, but no Test matches were played. The players were drawn mainly from England but did have representatives from the other three home unions
