Wales and the All Blacks : An Off-Field History

ISBN: 9781800992580

Author: Roger Penn    Publisher: Y Lolfa

From the first match between Wales and New Zealand in 1905, a mutual bond of rivalry and respect has developed between these two rugby-loving countries. This book documents all the matches played, but unlike other histories it shifts the focus to the delights and curiosities of off-field actions, obligations and functions, drawing our attention to this often-overlooked aspect of a tour. From forgotten facts unearthed in dusty old newspapers to the fresh anecdotes and recollections of modern-day greats - both All Black and Welsh - Roger Penn provides us with an unorthodox and stimulating look at these great rugby encounters. With foreword by Welsh rugby legend J P R Williams.
