WATCH: The five biggest All Blacks losing margins

An All Blacks defeat is a rarity in itself, but rarer again is an All Blacks side that gets smashed. Well, smashed is a relative term when it comes to the All Blacks, beaten comprehensively might be a more accurate summation.

Considering they have been in operation for roughly 133 years, their biggest ever defeat isn’t exactly a hiding. Their first match came in 1884, and their first international test match was in 1903 against Australia in Sydney. The following year they hosted their first ever home test match against a British Isles side in Wellington.

In context, Welsh Rugby’s heaviest ever defeat is 83 points, in a 96-13 loss to South Africa in 1998, while England’s heaviest ever defeat was recorded at Suncorp Stadium, losing by 76 points to Australia, again in 1998.
