Purchased on Mighty Ape

I bought this book for my husband who is a huge rugby found, when we received it I found that it was me trying to get hold of it before he did. I found it had so much information from the early games till the most recent, it is really interesting to read . It is a must for any rugby fan – and with this price you've got to have it.

Description

In this celebration of New Zealand rugby a number of NZ rugby matches are remembered, and presented with the match programmes that were printed for them. The selection mixes famous test and provincial games with less well-remembered but equally fascinating matches. It includes classic games such as the 'Did-Deans-score-or-didn't-he?' 1905 test against Wales during the tour by The Originals, Ranfurly Shield games, the shock 1978 loss to Munster, one of the riot-torn 1981 matches against the Springboks, and RWC encounters. Accompanying each programme is a brief but pithy match report describing the general flow of play as well as stand-out phases and players. And lovers of statistics will enjoy such details as ground condition, attendance figures, players' lists and scoring details. Includes approx. 60 full-colour facsimiles of programmes, plus b/w photographs

Author Biography

Prominent rugby historian and author Lindsay Knight needs no introduction to fans of the game. The author of Britain's Finest Lions, Shield Fever, 'Kirky', Knight Dalton Ashworth and many other titles, he is also respected for his regular postings and op-ed pieces on Rugby Heaven (www.rugbyheaven.co.nz).
