1987 #9 - New Zealand 74-13 Fiji (with Jamie Wall)

New Zealand rugby author Jamie Wall rejoins the podcast to cover the All Blacks' second game of the 1987 Rugby World Cup, alongside his 9-month-old son James Wall Jr. We discuss SuperBoot, hot Ben Volavola facts and a fun interview in which David Kirk trash-talked his opposition. We also make casual plans to invade Fiji, and Jamie tells us the fascinating origin story of the Webb Ellis trophy. Thanks again to Jamie and James (@JamieWall2 on Twitter) for joining us. You can find his array of books online (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hundred-Years-War-Blacks-Springboks/dp/1988547547/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3E2YV6J1LLUQD&keywords=jamie+wall&qid=1643384202&sprefix=jamie+%2Caps%2C325&sr=8-2) if you want to dive deeper into Jamie's fountain of All Blacks (and general rugby) knowledge. Young James hasn't published any books yet, but we'll let you know when he does. Thanks also to Tom Rosenthal for our theme music. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
