In August 1905 a group of young men leave New Zealand for England as a rugby team nobody has heard of. By December, after wins over Yorkshire, England and Ireland, the papers are calling them the wonderful All Blacks. Far from home and often bewildered, they see the Eiffel Tower, snow on Tierra del Fuego and America, and the story, mixing record and invention, follows them from innocence into fame.
