- Source: ANZAC XV
The ANZAC XV, was a combined rugby union team, made up of players eligible to represent either Australia or New Zealand, which played against the British Lions in 1989. The name ANZAC comes from Australia and New Zealand's involvement in World War I. The team was intended to combine many Wallabies and All Blacks, but most New Zealand players dropped out of the squad before the match.
There will be a game between the British & Irish Lions and an ANZAC XV during the Lions' 2025 tour of Australia.
