In the year 1905, the New Zealand 'colonial' team were the greatest team ever to visit the  British Isles,  they were 'The Originals'.  Before arriving in   Wales  they were undefeated, having played 27 matches on tour, scored 801 points with just 32 points scored against. under their captain Gallaher, the team were dominant, earlier that year, they had beaten Australia  14-3, then on the tour Scotland 12-7, Ireland 15–0 and England 15–0 . Wales were unbeaten too, thrashing England 25-0, beating Scotland 6-3 and Ireland 10-3. So the scene was set, Triple Crown Wales against the all conquering All Blacks, a name they had earned on the tour, at Cardiff Arms Park. This was billed as the ‘Match of the Century’. the ‘World Championship’, the top two teams in the world head to head. The game lived up to expectations, it was the most controversial rugby match ever. The arguments rage and still do to this day. One thing is for certain Wales won the game 3-0 and were crowned the ‘unofficial champions of the world’.
