Neath Rugby Football Club is the oldest senior club in Wale and the Welsh All Blacks have enjoyed a long and proud history. This is the second Images of Sport volume devoted to the development of Neath RFC and it covers the period from 1945 to 1996 - from the end of the Second World War to professionalism. Read how the All Blacks became the first post-war Welsh champions, the first to celebrate their centenary, the first to win the Welsh Cup, the first to win the Welsh League in its amateur form, and the first to win the League under professionalism.

Read too how Neath took on - and so very nearly beat - world champions New Zealand, Australia and South Africa as the 'Thomas Revolution' set them on their way to dominance of the Welsh scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Many of the great names of Welsh rugby are featured, including the club's first British Lions, Rees Stephens and Roy John, Courtenay Meredith, Ron Waldron, Brian Thomas, Dai Morris, Elgan Rees, Paul Thorburn, Jonathan Davies, Allan Bateman and Gareth Llewellyn.

It will appeal to anyone with an interest in Neath rugby (an integral part of the town itself) and will revive memories for the modern rugby supporter.
