They won all six matches on the tour, culminating with a 56–17 win over the South African Barbarians. The team was very experimental, as some of the best Welsh players were involved in the Lions tour to New Zealand. Three players made their test debuts in the first game against Zimbabwe: Simon Hill, Lyn Jones and Neil Boobyer.
