{"product_id":"wales-and-the-all-blacks-an-off-field-history-9781800992580","title":"Wales and the All Blacks: An Off-Field History","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A history that has, at last, been recorded correctly and sympathetically.\" - Brian Price\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An absorbing read of the pride and passion of two rugby countries: a classic book.\" - Roy Bergiers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Presents and celebrates a very special rugby relationship that combines drama, passion, intensity and hwyl.
