In this cartoon, drawn by New Zealander Trevor Lloyd at the end of the 1905 All Black tour, New Zealand is no longer represented as a young cub. Now New Zealand has become a large moa shaking the neck of a very scruffy and frightened British lion. The scores shown in the cartoon are not quite correct: the 39 points were scored by teams from Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as England, and the All Blacks scored 830 points, not 829, against those teams.
