More on All Blacks
Description from Wikipedia:
The All Blacks are New Zealand's national team in rugby union, the country's national sport. The All Blacks have a winning record against every international rugby team, including the British and Irish Lions and the World XV.
The All Blacks compete annually with the Australian rugby team the Wallabies and the South African rugby team the Springboks in the Tri-Nations Series, in which they also contest the Bledisloe Cup with Australia. The All Blacks have been Tri-Nations champions nine times in the tournament's 13-year history, they have three times completed a Grand Slam (in 1978, 2005 and in 2008) of the four (British) Home Nations, and they currently hold the Bledisloe Cup. According to the official IRB World Rankings, the All Blacks are the number one ranked team in the world. The All Blacks were also named the 2006 International Rugby Board (IRB) Team of the Year. Fourteen former All Blacks have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame, one into the IRB Hall of Fame.
The team first competed internationally in 1884 against Cumberland County, New South Wales, and played their first Test match in 1903, a victory against Australia. This was followed by a tour of the northern hemisphere in 1905, during which the only loss was to Wales in Cardiff.
The 1981 Springbok Tour to New Zealand caused large-scale civil unrest due to protests over South Africa's apartheid policy. In 1987 New Zealand hosted and won the inaugural Rugby World Cup. New Zealand toured post-apartheid South Africa in 1996, and achieved their first series win on South African soil.
