Ilustrated, Statistical Details included. All Blacks versus Springoks is the story of the conflict between the world's greatest and most ardent rugby playing nations. It is a conflict with just one aim: world supremacy in rugby.
Teams of New Zealanders and South Africans first played each other just other during the Boer War, although it was not until 1921 that the All Blacks and the Springboks met for the first time. The battle was to rage, fiercely, and often controversially, for the next sixty years, until politics intervened to bring it to a temporary halt. The rivalry resumed in 1992, with the All Black tour of South Africa, heralding the beginning of a new era in one of sport's most exciting rivalries.
In a world of strongly held loyalities, where an unbiased appraisal of both sides is not always in evidence, Graeme Barrow is well qualified to tell this fasinating story. Born in South Afrrica in 1940, he practised as a lawyer in that country for six years before settling in New Zealand in 1974.
