A seminal moment in the history of Rugby Union Football, indeed in sport itself, occurred in 1905 when the New Zealand rugby side toured Britain and Ireland. The tourists played 32 games and won 31 of them. This book reflects on each game of that tour, and all the other tour matches played by New Zealand in Britain and Ireland since.
Dave Fox is a computer manager and rugby historian, has co-written three books on Bristol rugby club. He is a regular writer in rugby publications and a devotee of the amateur game. Dave also commentates for hospital radio at Bristol home games. Ray Ruddick is Pontypool's biggest supporter. Ray works for the Open University and is a historian of South Wales and in particular, Monmouthshire rugby. He compiled a photographic history of Pontypool rugby club. Ken Bogle can be regularly found with his head in a book either researching Scottish rugby and social history, or in his day job as a librarian in Edinburgh. He co-wrote The Green Machine, a recent history of his beloved Hawick RFC, and is nearing the completion of research into 'Wattie' Sutherland, a Scottish hero of yesteryear.
