the All Blacks continued to pressure for the remaining minutes and during injury-time, all their forays into the
Barbarians 25 were snuffed out by more good Barbarians defence. The Barbarians too managed to launch a couple of their own attacks, with Bevan twice running out of defence brilliantly, the second of which ended when he chose to grubber-kick ahead, not noticing that J. P. R. Williams was free on his left shoulder who would have certainly scored were he to have passed. Batty conjured one last attacking chance for his side, escaping down the left flank, but his inside pass was dropped by Robertson. One final attacking move for the Barbarians was brought to an end after Gibson lost his footing after a cut back inside and knocked on, after which the final whistle sounded, and the resultant cheers from the crowd was instantly followed by a mass pitch invasion from all sides. Barbarians captain John Dawes was lifted onto the shoulders of the crowd, as was scrum-half Edwards in recognition of his remarkable try scored in the opening minutes of the match.

from a lineout just outside New
Zealand's 25, the ball was kept in play for over 90 seconds (a very rare feat for rugby matches of that era) and all 15 Barbarian players touched the ball at least once in the passage of play. Featuring a remarkable reverse pass by Edwards, two sniping runs apiece by Duckham and Gibson, a try-saving tackle by Karam and interception by Colling, Slattery's accurate pass put J. P. R. Williams in space who then side-stepped Karam to score in the corner. Bennett slotted the conversion from the right touchline, receiving a cheer almost as loud as the one that greeted the try, to give the Barbarians a virtually unassailable 23β11 lead with only a few minutes to go.

However, from the ensuing scrum five yards from the New Zealand line, pressure from Edwards forced Going to fumble the ball, which allowed Slattery to scoop up the loose ball and go over for the Barbarians' second try of the half; Bennett's conversion made the score 13-0. In the final minute of the first half, a poor pass from Going to Burgess led to the All Black fly-half throwing an interception to Quinnell. The ball was spread wide to Bevan, who managed to shrug off tackles from Bryan Williams, Ian Hurst and

again displayed his defensive prowess by stopping Bryan
Williams in a one-on-one situation that would have otherwise resulted in a certain try for the All Blacks, but the Barbarians were powerless to stop Bryan Williams breaking through the line a few moments later and feeding winger Batty for New Zealand's first try of the match. Karam missed the conversion, but the All Blacks were nonetheless very much back in contention, trailing 17β7 with barely eight minutes of the second half gone.

Zealand had successfully cut the deficit to just six points, now trailing 17-11 with just over 10 minutes to go.

However, the All Blacks came roaring back with an attack of their own, with Hurst putting
Robertson through. Robertson tried to emulate Batty's chip over the head of J. P. R. Williams, but Williams read Robertson's idea and charged the kick down, likely saving yet another try in the process. Although

Barbarians then produced one of the highlights of the game to seal victory; commentator Bill McLaren would later describe it in his 1991 documentary "Bill's Best Bits" as being on par with "The Greatest Try Ever Scored", and a passage of play that made you "gasp in wonder". Beginning
