1991 Trans-Tasman Test series
The 1991 Trans-Tasman Test series was an international rugby league test series played in Australia between Australia and New Zealand. The series, which started on 3 July in Melbourne and finished on 31 July in Brisbane, consisted of three test matches, with the third test doubling as a 1989–1992 Rugby League World Cup tournament match. New Zealand did not play in any other matches while on tour.
==Australia==
The Australians, coached by Bob Fulton and captained by Mal Meninga, had come out of the successful 1990 Kangaroo Tour, while all players selected for the three Kiwi tests had recently participated in the 1991 State of Origin series, won by Queensland 2–1 over New South Wales. Queensland captain Wally Lewis made his return to the test team for the first test at Olympic Park, after missing most of 1990 and all that year's tests with a broken right forearm and later being controversially ruled out of the Kangaroo Tour by team doctor Nathan Gibbs. It would prove to be his final test in the Green and Gold, Lewis being one of four players dropped from the side after the 8–24 loss to the Kiwis (second row forward Bob Lindner, the player of the Kangaroo Tour, also missed the final two tests after breaking his leg in the game in Melbourne).
The series saw the start of the international careers of Canberra Raiders hooker Steve Walters, who beat out Kangaroo incumbent and NSW captain Benny Elias for first test hooking role, and wingers Willie Carne (Brisbane Broncos) and Rod Wishart (Illawarra Steelers), who made their debut in the second test in Sydney, with all three scoring a try on debut. Also making his Australian debut in Sydney was Eastern Suburbs front row forward Craig Salvatori, who played his only two career tests during the series. The series would be the last appearance in an Australian jumper of veteran test players Wally Lewis and Des Hasler as well as Penrith forward Mark Geyer. Lanky Broncos and Queensland fullback Paul Hauff made his only appearance in an Australian jumper in the first test after starring for Qld in the Origin series. It was to be his only test however, with Andrew Ettingshausen preferred for the final two tests.
