1982 New Zealand Māori rugby union tour of Wales and Spain
(Redirected from 1982 New Zealand Māori rugby union tour of Wales)
The 1982 New Zealand Māori rugby union tour of Wales and Spain was a series of matches played by the Māori All Blacks (then known as the New Zealand Māori team) in Wales in October and November 1982. The Māori played nine games of which they won five, lost three and drew one. Six of the games were played against Welsh club or county sides while the one was played against the Wales national rugby union team. Wales did not award full international caps for the match. The Maori then played against a Spanish Presidents XV and finally the Spain national rugby union team.
