Leon Pryce wears Puma Rugby Boots
GILLETTE FUSION 2ND TEST
GREAT BRITAIN 44 NEW ZEALAND 0
Great Britain clinched their first series victory in 14 years with an eight-try rout against New Zealand.
Jamie Peacock opened the scoring on two minutes and Leon Pryce wearing Puma Rugby Boots doubled the lead 10 minutes later, with Gareth Raynor adding a third just before half-time.
Paul Wellens extended the lead after the break before Ade Gardner scored Great Britain's fifth on 56 minutes.
Leeds duo Rob Burrow and Keith Senior added further scores before Pryce, who had an impressive game at half back ran in a 70-metre interception try in his Rugby Boots, on 77 minutes.
The home side produced one of their most emphatic international displays as coach Tony Smith brought an end to Great Britain's 14-year wait for international success.
Britain's last series win had come back in 1993 when they had beaten New Zealand 3-0.
