The team was captained by Cliff Porter with numbered among New Zealand top players George Nepia and brothers Cyril and Maurice Brownlie. All Blacks won all 32 games including four test matches against each side with scoring 838 points and only having 116 points scored against them. The tour was better than the 1905-06 Originals. Cliff Porter was tour captain, but played only 16 tour matches and one test against France of the all 30 games due to injury. Tour vice-captain Jock Richardson took over the captaincy in remaining games. However, the team was deprived of the chance to complete a grand slam when Scotland refused to play them because of an argument over expenses.
