  • In 1978 the New Zealand national rugby union team, the All Blacks, toured Britain and Ireland. They were the eighth All Black team to undertake a full tour of the countries and became the first to achieve a Grand Slam by beating the national teams of Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland. The previous seven touring teams had either lost or drawn at least one international, or had not played all four nations. The New Zealand team played eighteen matches between 18 October and 16 December, winning seventeen games and losing once, to Munster at Thomond Park, Limerick. This was the first time that an All Black team had been beaten in Ireland and it remained the All Blacks' only defeat by any Irish team until they lost to the Ireland national team in 2016. The Munster victory inspired a stage play, Alone it Stands. Although the All Blacks won their four international matches, three of the games were undecided until close to the end. The match against Ireland was level 6–6 at the end of normal time and was settled by Andy Dalton's try in injury time. Against Wales, a 78th-minute penalty goal by replacement full-back Brian McKechnie turned a 12–10 deficit into a 13–12 win. In the Scotland game the All Blacks led 12–9 going into injury time and a drop goal attempt by Ian McGeechan, which would have tied the scores if successful, was charged down and led to a breakaway try for New Zealand by Bruce Robertson.

  • Die Tour der neuseeländischen Rugby-Union-Nationalmannschaft nach Großbritannien und Irland 1978 umfasste eine Reihe von Freundschaftsspielen der All Blacks, der Nationalmannschaft Neuseelands in der Sportart Rugby Union. Das Team reiste im Oktober und November 1978 durch Großbritannien und Irland. Es bestritt während dieser Zeit 18 Spiele, darunter vier Test Matches gegen die Nationalmannschaften der Home Nations. Die All Blacks entschieden alle Test Matches für sich und schafften damit zum ersten Mal überhaupt einen Grand Slam. Ihre einzige Niederlage während der Tour mussten sie gegen das irische Team Munster Rugby hinnehmen, die erste auf irischem Boden. Der unerwartete Erfolg von Munster inspirierte den irischen Dramaturgen John Breen, der darauf basierend das Theaterstück Alone it stands schrieb und aufführte. (de)
  • Il tour del 1978 degli All Blacks nelle Isole britanniche è storicamente rilevante per due ragioni; la prima è che in esso la Nazionale oceaniana realizzò il primo Grande Slam nell'Emisfero Nord della sua storia, impresa che fu bissata solo 27 anni dopo nel 2005; la seconda fu la sconfitta, l'unica in tutto il tour a opera di Munster a Limerick: fu la prima volta che una squadra irlandese, club o selezione nazionale che fosse, sconfisse i neozelandesi e, fino al tour del 2016 rimase l'unica volta.All'impatto culturale di tale vittoria (per 12-0, frutto di una meta trasformata e due drop) sono dedicate due opere letterarie, Alone it Stands, dramma teatrale del 1999 di John Breen e Where Miracles Happen - The Story of Thomond Park, libro-racconto del 2015 di Charlie Mulqueen e Brendan O’Dowd, che raccontano degli spaccati di vita e di società dell'epoca. Nonostante le quattro vittorie sulle quattro union delle Isole Britanniche, gli All Blacks faticarono a realizzare lo Slam, perché contro l'Irlanda il risultato era pari sul 6-6 fino al tempo di recupero e solo una meta di Andy Dalton diede ai visitatori la vittoria; parimenti, contro il Galles, essi vinsero solo nei minuti finali ribaltando il risultato con una meta a due minuti dalla fine; contro la Scozia, invece, conducevano 12-9 e a tempo scaduto un drop dello scozzese Ian McGeechan andò fuori dai pali negando il possibile pareggio alla sua squadra. Tecnico dei neozelandesi era Russell Thomas, mentre il capitano della spedizione fu Graham Mourie. (it)
