In the tournament, many retirements were seen which include coach Wyllie, who had enjoyed an 86% win rate during 29 Tests in charge.

Laurie Mains took charge in 1992, and he was given the job of preparing the side for the 1995 event which have been took place in the South Africa. New Zealand were hot favourites to take the championship. Their theory of hot favourite was confirmed when a young Jonah Lomu scored four tries against England in New Zealand's 45-29 semi-final win. However, the New Zealand team suffered food poisoning problem before the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final. Despite this, they took hosts South Africa to extra time, before losing to Joel Stransky's drop goal.

He was the security liaison for the All Blacks and reported in a book that a Far Eastern gambling syndicate was responsible for the outbreak by bribing a waitress.
