Description

Kings of Rugby. The British Lion's 1959 Tour of New Zealand by Terry McLean. 'The Rugby Crown, insubstantial symbol of world supremacy, remains with New Zealand. The 1959 tour of the British Lions, a tour which roused New Zealand Rugby enthusiasts to unequalled heights of fervour, saw the visitors downed 3-1 in the test series. Statistically a convincing victory to New Zealand, but morally. . .? Terry McLean, touring correspondent with the team, saw the Lions in action in their every match in Australia and New Zealand. Travelling with the players, he came to know them as friends as well as footballers. Measuring the tour against the several others he has covered (1950 Lions, 1953-54 All Blacks, 1956 Springboks, etc.), and the players against the known and the newly-blooded New Zealanders, McLean brought an unequalled experience of Rugby reporting to bear upon these matches which dominated thought and talk in the New Zealand winter of 1959.' The dust jacket has much wear with chips missing and scuffing down the edges but the book remains tight and bright. Previous owners name or inscription on inside front page.
