This doco follows the then-world champion All Blacks on a 1989 tour of Wales and Ireland. With star winger John Kirwan as guide, “The All Black Film Unit” gives a players’ insight into an international tour in pre-professional, pre-media trained times — there’s even a plate of oranges. Match, training, and travel footage is complemented by relaxed encounters with players (Zinzan Brooke mounting a shetland pony has entered rugby folklore). Producer Ric Salizzo repeated the recipe — sports fandom mixed with schoolboy pratfalls — in the successful Sports Cafe series.

Been looking for this for years had the whole lot lent it to a mate, rest is history, still funny as, Are they still avalible somewhere, DVD?
As per Dave's comment, would love to be able to get this on DVD. I remember watching all four of the doco's - Blood, Sweat and Touring, The Wylie Bunch and was it the Year of the Cup (covering the 1991 RWC).
Is this on DVD anywhere? I had this on VHS years ago and the one they did the next year on the tour to France, great doco!!

Hi guys, as far as we know it isn't available on DVD at the moment. Thanks for the other title suggestions - definitely worth seeing all of them again.
