It is 28 years since Men in Black was first published and while a lot has changed in rugby in that time, the purpose of the book has not: to provide a record, both in narrative and statistical form, of every test played by the All Blacks. Last published in 2000, Men in Black is the definitive record of All Black test rugby since 1903, when New Zealand played its first full-scale international against Australia in Sydney. Compiled by three of New Zealand's most respected rugby historians and writers, this the new edition is by far one of the largest books ever published in New Zealand. An addition of approximately 140 pages brings the total extent to a sensational 850 pages, and 48 pages of colour photographs complete this unique, unrivalled record of our national team at the highest level.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Although Nev McMillan and Rod Chester have both passed away, their legacy to New Zealand sports writing lives on in Men in Black and The Encyclopedia of New Zealand Rugby. Both men were for many years regarded as the premier rugby historians/statisticians in this country. Ron Palenski, long regarded as one of New Zealand's best and most successful sports writers, provides the 'fresh' copy for the new Men in Black.
