The extensive photo library provides rare and detailed coverage of the emergence of New Zealand as a major rugby power.Over 30 colourful displays record the history of rugby in New Zealand and overseas. Displays are theme based e g "Maori Rugby", the "Original" All Blacks or collection style e g of "Rugby caps", "Rugby badges" etc. And we have a few ideas as to how to occupy children whilst their parents go down Memory Lane amongst our displays. « less
