Great Britain 3-0 New Zealand - Whitewash is the official DVD review of the 2007 Rugby League Gillette Fusion Test Series. It was the first whitewash by Great Britain in fourteen years.
A new coach, Tony Smith, a new belief and if it was the last roar of the Lions what a way to go! Smith’s first series in charge and Great Britain responded with a thumping 3-0 whitewash of New Zealand.
As England, the same squad of players will go into next year’s Rugby League World Cup Down Under with genuine hopes of glory after their first series success in 14 years!
Led again by the immense Jamie Peacock and energised by pocket rocket Rob Burrow Great Britain forged ahead with a narrow victory in the opening test at Huddersfield’s Galpharm Stadium by 28-22. A week later in Hull, inspired by the genius of Leon Pryce, Peacock’s 'Pride of Lions' demolished the Kiwis - scoring an unanswered 44 points in one of the best performances ever seen on home soil!
With the series won Tony Smith made changes for the final test at Wigan’s JJB Stadium but after a slow start his charges stormed back, scoring five tries to win 28-22.
After fourteen years of waiting you can now enjoy extended highlights of all three fantastic victories, as our league boys put the Great back into Great Britain. Brought to you by the Sky Sports DVD Shop.
