On 30 October 1963 Newport RFC recorded a historic victory over the Fifth New Zealand All Blacks. It was the only defeat suffered on their 36-match tour. The story of how Newport RFC achieved its greatest triumph and why the result should stand above all others is fully explained in this book.
The first rugby match I remember, aged 6, watching the 2nd half on TV with my grandfather waiting for my Dad to come home-he was one of the 25000 crammed into the ground! A famous win- the only defeat for the All Blacks the whole tour. Those were the days!!
