"The Bounce of the Century" they called it. A ball kicked across Cardiff Arms Park in the dying minutes of a match between two of international rugby's fiercest rivals. Dragons and All Blacks tells of what happened when Wales played New Zealand in 1953. The story is written from the memories of the men who played that day, including Bob Scott and Bleddyn Williams, and features contemporary accounts by those for whom the match was the highlight of a career. The book relays the story of two teams and the men who played for them, and charts the events of their lives--how they got to that meeting point in Cardiff in December 1953, and what has happened to them in the half-century since. Dragons and All Blacks examines the remarkable relationship between two countries on opposite sides of the world, showing how their rivalry has developed and changed over a century.
