- Source: 1968 New Zealand rugby union tour of Australia and Fiji
The 1968 New Zealand tour rugby to Australia and Fiji was the 21st tour by the New Zealand national rugby union team to Australia, concluding with a match against Fiji in Suva, Fiji.
The previous tour by the All Blacks to Australia was the 1962 tour. The Wallabies had visited New Zealand in 1964.
The All Backs won all both Test matches and the Bledisloe Cup.
Before the first Test Australian coach (and former Wallaby and All Black) Des Connor had studied the rulebook and after consulting with referees, he introduced tactically the first short lineout ever used in a match in the southern hemisphere. This tactic is now a common part of rugby at all levels.
