Criticism about a poor record in the last game of the season seems to be justified. Since professionalism in 1996, the All Blacks record over 21 tests includes 15 wins, for a win rate of 71.4%. But overall, for the same period, the All Blacks test record is 226 wins out of 270 games - or a 83.7% win record.....and how does it compare for the entire All Black history...?

To celebrate the start of Movember we identify our best moustached All Black XV. Let these men inspire you, and encourage you to support this great cause:
