New Zealand played the conditions better and handsomely won the match; but it was Dick's kick down the New Zealand end that summed up the match. Instead of creating Scotland pressure, the ball stuck in a puddle and gave Bryan Williams the time to collect the ball, then turn and build up speed and race down the other end of the pitch for a New Zealand try.
