Product Information
The ABC TV Series 'The Rise & Rise of Australian Rugby' examines the resurgence of Australian Rugby from the Woeful Wallabies in the 1970s to world champions in 1991. Australian Rugby's development during this time was measured against the best of them all - the mighty All Blacks. As South Africa faded out of the international scene in the early 1980s, Australia came to take its place as New Zealand's major opponent. By 1982, after four Australian victories in the past five Tests, the All Blacks were obliged to take the Wallabies seriously.Presented by Peter FitzSimons, this Deluxe Edition box set also features present day interviews with Alan Jones, Mark Ella, Bob Dwyer, Michael Lynagh, Nick Farr-Jones, Andrew Slack, Tony Shaw, Mark Loane, Andy Haden, Hika Reid, Stu Wilson, Grant Fox, Mark Shaw and many more.Packed with all the fierce battles and memorable moments, 'never before seen on television' footage and behind-the-scenes tales, this ultimate collector's edition also showcases many DVD extras and features six classic Bledisloe Cup Test matches in full.Product Identifiers
