1973 England rugby union tour of Fiji and New Zealand

This tour was hastily organised at very little notice when the originally planned tour of Argentina was cancelled due to terrorist theats against the players. A squad of 25 was selected, all but 3 capped, and 9 of whom (6 in the pack) had played in the match against the All Blacks at Twickenham 9 months ago, in January. David Duckham and "Stack" Stevens had been, with John Pullin, on the 1971 Lions tour.
