Heritage - Golden Years of All Black Rugby
Published by Hill-Verdon Publishing. This edition published 2002.
Has a magical time of All Black rugby been irretrievably lost - not only because it is perceived we are no longer successful but also because of the unsentimental nature of professionalism?
Among New Zealanders of today, there appears to be a great yearning for the old days - when no other nation had a record to match that of the All Blacks, when our young men went to foreign shores, were up against the world and were almost always victorious. How else would we have arrived at the start of the 21st Century with the All Blacks test success rate far, far ahead of its rivals?
This book is visually stunning - filled with photographic images that often include the hauntingly beautiful images from the 1905 originals and 1924 invincibles tour.
Please note that the dustjacket has some chipping and the book has some shelf wear.
