The British and Irish Lions played 10 rugby union matches : matches against all five New Zealand Super Rugby franchises, the NZ Provincial Barbarians, the Māori All Blacks and three test matches against New Zealand. The test series was tied 1 -- 1 -- one victory to each side and a draw in the final match. Of the other tour matches, the Lions won four, lost two and drew one. The members of the Lions squad voted Jonathan Davies as their player of the series. The British and Irish Lions are a composite team selected from players who are eligible to represent the national teams of England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales. The Lions first toured New Zealand in 1888, but did not play against the New Zealand national team until 1904. Since then, they have won only one test series against the All Blacks -- in 1971. The side undertakes tours every four years and last played in New Zealand in 2005 when they had lost the test series 3 -- 0. Wales coach Warren Gatland was retained as head coach, having led the Lions to victory in the 2013 series against Australia. Former Wales captain Sam Warburton was appointed as tour captain, a role he had also held in the 2013 Lions tour of Australia.

Previously in New Zealand, the Lions had played provincial sides or combined provincial selections. However this was the first tour to New Zealand where the visit fell in the middle of the Super Rugby season. Initially, the Lions proposed a match in the United States against the U.S. national team to open the tour, much like the Barbarians match in Hong Kong in 2013. However, on 6 July 2015, the idea was dropped because of the unavailability of key American players due to club commitments. Also, a match versus the Pacific Islanders was proposed in 2014. The opening match of the tour was originally planned to be against a Provincial Union XV ; however, in March 2016, this was changed to the New Zealand Barbarians following their win over the Māori All Blacks. In New Zealand, there was criticism that there were too many matches in the North Island with only two matches being played in the South Island. Christchurch was initially planned to host a test match but, due to the 2011 Christchurch earthquake which damaged Lancaster Park beyond repair, it was deemed that the remaining stadiums in the South Island were too small to host a test match.

The current form of the Super Rugby teams made this tour arguably one of the toughest undertaken by a British and Irish Lions team. The Lions arrived in New Zealand just two days before their first match against a Provincial Barbarians team. The Barbarian team was made up of players on the fringe of New Zealand Super Rugby teams, and included Bryn Gatland, son of Lions coach Warren Gatland. Surprisingly the Barbarians led 7 -- 3 at half time, before Anthony Watson scored for the visitors to give them the lead with 30 minutes to go. They held on to open the tour with an unconvincing 13 -- 7 victory. The next match was four days later against the Blues, an Auckland - based Super Rugby franchise. The Lions led 16 -- 15 with 10 minutes remaining before a Sonny Bill Williams break and offload to Ihaia West led to the match - winning try. A try-less 12 -- 3 victory over the Crusaders in Christchurch followed, this was the first time the Crusaders had lost in 2017. It was another close game against the Highlanders as Marty Banks from the Otago - based side kicked the winning penalty with six minutes remaining. The next match was against the Māori All Blacks, a team made up of players with Maori ancestry. A strong squad was named, with nine players with All Black caps selected. The Lions beat the Maori team with ease in what was predicted to be the toughest match before meeting the All Blacks. The convincing 32 -- 10 victory was followed up three days later as they put another dominant display in against the Chiefs in Hamilton, winning 34 -- 6. The final mid-week game against the Hurricanes was played after the first All Black test match. The Hurricanes came from behind to secure a 31 -- 31 draw in Wellington. 3 June 2017 19 : 35 NZST ( UTC + 12 ) New Zealand Provincial Barbarians 7 -- 13 British and Irish Lions Try : Anderson - Heather 22 ' c Con : Gatland ( 1 / 1 ) 23 ' Report Try : Watson 51 ' c Con : Farrell ( 1 / 1 ) 53 ' Pen : Sexton ( 1 / 2 ) 16 ' Laidlaw ( 1 / 1 ) 42 ' Okara Park, Whangarei Attendance : 19,951 Referee : Angus Gardner ( Australia ) Team details FB 15 Luteru Laulala RW 14 Sam Vaka OC 13 Inga Finau 18 ' IC 12 Dwayne Sweeney LW 11 Sevu Reece FH 10 Bryn Gatland 60 ' SH 9 Jack Stratton 55 ' N8 8 Mitchell Dunshea OF 7 Lachlan Boshier 46 ' BF 6 James Tucker 66 ' RL 5 Keepa Mewett 61 ' 66 ' LL Josh Goodhue TP Oliver Jager 60 ' HK Sam Anderson - Heather ( c ) 42 ' LP Aidan Ross 51 ' Replacements : HK 16 Andrew Makalio 42 ' PR 17 Tolu Fahamokioa 51 ' PR 18 Marcel Renata 60 ' FL 19 Matt Matich 46 ' N8 20 Peter Rowe 61 ' SH 21 Richard Judd 55 ' WG 22 Jonah Lowe 18 ' CE 23 Joe Webber 60 ' Coach : Clayton McMillan FB 15 Stuart Hogg RW 14 Anthony Watson OC 13 Jonathan Joseph IC 12 Ben Te'o LW 11 Tommy Seymour FH 10 Jonathan Sexton 49 ' SH 9 Greig Laidlaw 59 ' N8 8 Taulupe Faletau OF 7 Sam Warburton ( c ) 67 ' BF 6 Ross Moriarty RL 5 Iain Henderson 51 ' LL Alun Wyn Jones TP Kyle Sinckler 51 ' HK Rory Best 51 ' LP Joe Marler 51 ' Replacements : HK 16 Jamie George 51 ' PR 17 Mako Vunipola 51 ' PR 18 Tadhg Furlong 51 ' LK 19 George Kruis 51 ' FL 20 Justin Tipuric 67 ' SH 21 Rhys Webb 59 ' FH 22 Owen Farrell 49 ' CE 23 Elliot Daly Coach : Warren Gatland Man of the Match : Taulupe Faletau ( British and Irish Lions ) Touch judges : Mike Fraser ( New Zealand ) Brendon Pickerill ( New Zealand ) Television match official : Aaron Paterson ( New Zealand ) 7 June 2017 19 : 35 NZST ( UTC + 12 ) Blues 22 -- 16 British and Irish Lions Try : R.

Jordie Barrett and Vaea Fifita ( both New Zealand ) and Paul Alo - Emile and Kieron Fonotia ( both Samoa ) made their international debuts. Beauden Barrett ( New Zealand ) earned his 50th test cap. Test matches The All Blacks were favourites, coming into the first test match having won 46 tests in a row at home and had not been defeated at Eden Park in 23 years. Peter O'Mahony was named captain by Warren Gatland for the first test against New Zealand. Sam Warburton lost his position to Sean O'Brien, making him the first tour captain not to play in the first test in 87 years. Apart from a new - look back three of Anthony Watson, Liam Williams and Elliot Daly, Gatland picked a predictable squad. So too did All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, his only surprise being the elevation of 20 - year - old Rieko Ioane for his first start over the veteran winger Julian Savea. First test The first test was a close match during the first half, Codie Taylor 's try for the All Blacks being matched by one from the Lions ' Seán O'Brien, and the home side led 13 -- 8 at the break ; however in the second half Rieko Ioane 's two tries took the game away from the Lions, with Rhys Webb 's try bringing the score back to 30 -- 15. 24 June 2017 19 : 35 NZST ( UTC + 12 ) New Zealand 30 -- 15 British and Irish Lions Try : Taylor 17 ' c Ioane ( 2 ) 54 ' c, 69 ' c Con : B.

New Zealand 's 15 - point winning margin marked the heaviest defeat for the Lions since the third test against New Zealand in 2005. This defeat was the Lions ' third of the tour, the most defeats on a tour since 2005, when they were beaten four times. The match marked New Zealand 's fifth consecutive victory over the Lions, having last been beaten in the second test in 1993. Second test The second test was notable for the sending off of Sonny Bill Williams, leaving the All Blacks 65 minutes to play with 14 men. At half time, the score remained 9 -- 9, but Beauden Barrett kicked New Zealand into an 18 -- 9 lead before Taulupe Faletau and Conor Murray tries levelled the game at 21 -- 21. On 76 minutes, Charlie Faumuina was penalised for tackling Kyle Sinckler in the air, and Owen Farrell kicked the winning penalty. 1 July 2017 19 : 35 NZST ( UTC + 12 ) New Zealand 21 -- 24 British and Irish Lions Pen : B.

Sonny Bill Williams ( New Zealand ) was only the third New Zealand player to be sent off, and the first since Colin Meads against Scotland in New Zealand 's 1967 northern hemisphere tour. This was the British and Irish Lions ' first win over New Zealand since winning 20 -- 7 during their 1993 tour, and was their first win over New Zealand in the professional era. The British and Irish Lions ended New Zealand 's 47 - match home winning streak, the All Blacks ' first loss since their 32 -- 29 defeat to South Africa in 2009. This was the first time that New Zealand failed to score any tries in a game since they drew 12 -- 12 with Australia in 2014, and the first time since beating Australia 12 -- 6 in 2002 that they failed to score any tries in a home game. Third test New Zealand led 12 -- 6 at the break, with tries from Laumape and Jordie Barrett, but the Lions fought their way back into the game, and eventually five penalties ( four from Owen Farrell and one from Elliot Daly ) were enough to draw the game. There was controversy with two minutes left when Ken Owens was initially adjudged to have handled the ball in an offside position after Liam Williams tried to claim a high kick under pressure from Kieran Read ; with the scores level, referee Poite initially awarded a penalty in kicking range before overturning it to a scrum after discussion with the video officials. 8 July 2017 19 : 35 NZST ( UTC + 12 ) New Zealand 15 -- 15 British and Irish Lions Try : Laumape 14 ' c J.

This was the first time the Lions and New Zealand had drawn a test match since their 14 -- 14 draw in 1971, and the first time the Lions had drawn any test match since their 13 -- 13 draw with South Africa in 1974.
