All Blacks in Italy
by Murray Crane
This weekend the All Blacks are playing Italy in Rome. It is always an exciting fixture for us, with much of our business based in Italy we enjoy the rivalry and banter within the team and with all our Italian based suppliers and staff.
New Zealand Rugby has a great history in Italy, most famously the 2nd Expeditionary Force who revived international rugby after World War II.
The team comprised soldiers selected after active service in North Africa and Italy and, in some cases, after lengthy spells in prisoner of war camps in Italy, Austria and Germany.
