The Lions played a three-test series against New Zealand, and ten matches against provincial teams and the New Zealand Maori. They won six and lost four of those games. The Lions lost the first test match, but won the second to level the series, with New Zealand winning the third test and the series.
Wade Dooley appeared briefly in the 1993 British Lions Tour of New Zealand but had to leave the tour to return home to England to attend his father's funeral and he was replaced by Martin Johnson.
Thus the series came down to the third Test decider at Eden Park. The Lions took a 10–0 lead, but New Zealand, helped by strong local support, recovered to easily win 30–13.[2]
