Game of the Century was a rugby game that went down in the history of two nations. The Wales vs New Zealand match in 1905 was the first confrontation between two teams that were to become major rivals.

This fascinating DVD dramatically reconstructs a classic rugby encounter between Wales and New Zealand.

The All Blacks and the Welsh had never crossed paths until that unforgettable match.
