The 2005 rugby season marked the tenth anniversary of several inextricably linked rugby events - the creation of SANZAR, Tri-nations and the Super 12, and the associated rise of rugby professionalism. Each of these events has had a significant impact on the face of international rugby, and played a major part in the development of the modern game. While New Zealand has dominated the Super 12, all three nations have shared moments of glory in the fiercely fought Tri-nations. All 60 Tri-nations matches and all of the Super 12 semi-finals and finals are featured in this comprehensive record of an exciting and significant period in the history of rugby. In this superbly illustrated book, Bob Howitt, one of the game's most experienced and well-known rugby writers, encapsulates the very best of these mighty contests, and presents a celebration and an analysis of the closely fought rivalry among great rugby nations New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
