Wales and the All Blacks: An Off-Field History Penn Roger G. K.
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. 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. 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.
"A history that has, at last, been recorded correctly and sympathetically." - Brian Price "An absorbing read of the pride and passion of two rugby countries: a classic book." - Roy With foreword by Welsh rugby legend J P R Williams.
