All Black history : The Invincibles

From Nine To Noon, 11:20 am on 2 October 2024

We rewind 100 years of sporting history to look at the All Black team that blitzed its rivals. Historian, Dr Jock Phillips has spent a career uncovering and documenting Aotearoa New Zealand's past, and is the author of 15 books. Today he's taking us back to 1924 - to the team which attracted the name, The Invincibles.

This card was produced to commemorate the 1905 ‘Originals’ ruby tour. A later world tour by the All Blacks in 1924-1925 would earn them the title of ‘Invincibles’. From the collection of Leo Haks Photo:
