Good historical footage, despite that tour being very controversial. I don't think the 'New Zealand' team covered themselves in any glory actually going on the tour, but that official's conduct appears very dodgy indeed. Not either country's finest hour.

It wasn’t. And probably was the start of the epoch of professional rugby. The “fruits” of which only the spectators can truly attest to.

Yet no one bothered about the wrongs of other nations.
