The first, taking place on 20 July saw the British win 25 to 11; three days later the British won again, 45 to 11; these matches were played in Salisbury and Bulawayo. The 1949 Rhodesian Rugby team, led by <a href="/wiki/John_Morkel" title="John Morkel">John Morkel</a>, famously beat a touring All Blacks side led by <a href="/wiki/Fred_Allen_(rugby_union)" title="Fred Allen (rugby union)">Fred Allen</a> in Bulawayo <a href="/wiki/1949_Rhodesia_vs_New_Zealand_rugby_union_match" title="1949 Rhodesia vs New Zealand rugby union match">10-8 on 27 July 1949</a>. Three days later they drew with the mighty All Blacks in Salisbury 3-3. Allen had infamously told his team that, no matter the circumstance, the team would <i>not</i> complain about touring conditions, as he felt whinging would not change the result on the pitch. In spite of this pact, the team encountered a number of issues which were not voiced properly, including the traveling ship being too small, long travel routes, <a href="/wiki/M%C4%81ori_people" title="Māori people">Māori</a> players being left behind due to <a href="/wiki/Honorary_whites" title="Honorary whites">racial codes</a>, issues with coaching and not acclimating properly to the heat and conditions.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1960, New Zealand returned to play a match on 2 July at Glamis Park, with Rhodesia losing 14 to 29, though gave the All Blacks a scare yet again, with the game being tied 6 all by half time. The <a href="/wiki/1962_British_Lions_tour_to_South_Africa" title="1962 British Lions tour to South Africa">1962 tour of South Africa</a> by the British Lions had Rhodesia as the opening fixture on the tour.

The next tour, in <a href="/wiki/1962_British_Lions_tour_to_South_Africa" title="1962 British Lions tour to South Africa">1962</a>, the Lions won in Salisbury, beating the side 32 to 6.
