  • Die Tour der neuseeländischen Rugby-Union-Nationalmannschaft nach Großbritannien und Irland 1978 umfasste eine Reihe von Freundschaftsspielen der All Blacks, der Nationalmannschaft Neuseelands in der Sportart Rugby Union. Das Team reiste im Oktober und November 1978 durch Großbritannien und Irland. Es bestritt während dieser Zeit 18 Spiele, darunter vier Test Matches gegen die Nationalmannschaften der Home Nations. Die All Blacks entschieden alle Test Matches für sich und schafften damit zum ersten Mal überhaupt einen Grand Slam. Ihre einzige Niederlage während der Tour mussten sie gegen das irische Team Munster Rugby hinnehmen, die erste auf irischem Boden. Der unerwartete Erfolg von Munster inspirierte den irischen Dramaturgen John Breen, der darauf basierend das Theaterstück Alone it st (de)
  • Il tour del 1978 degli All Blacks nelle Isole britanniche è storicamente rilevante per due ragioni; la prima è che in esso la Nazionale oceaniana realizzò il primo Grande Slam nell'Emisfero Nord della sua storia, impresa che fu bissata solo 27 anni dopo nel 2005; la seconda fu la sconfitta, l'unica in tutto il tour a opera di Munster a Limerick: fu la prima volta che una squadra irlandese, club o selezione nazionale che fosse, sconfisse i neozelandesi e, fino al tour del 2016 rimase l'unica volta.All'impatto culturale di tale vittoria (per 12-0, frutto di una meta trasformata e due drop) sono dedicate due opere letterarie, Alone it Stands, dramma teatrale del 1999 di John Breen e Where Miracles Happen - The Story of Thomond Park, libro-racconto del 2015 di Charlie Mulqueen e Brendan O’Dowd (it)
