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.

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 Bergiers

Presents and celebrates a very special rugby relationship that combines drama, passion, intensity and hwyl. It is one I recognise well. - JPR Williams

Penn's well-written and wonderfully illustrated book is brimming with some great anecdotes, intriguing sketches and revealing interviews from those at the centre of epic contests with the All Blacks. - Iwan Gabe Davies, South Wales Argus
