Never before has a team been so feared, or revered, than the All Blacks under the captaincy of Sean Fitzpatrick. His inspirational performances on the field helped take the All-Blacks soaring to new heights in world Rugby, culminating in an amazing record run of 23 Test matches in a row without defeat. Captain of the All-Blacks from 1992 to his retirement in 1997, he proved a strong and charismatic leader, bringing joy to many lovers of Rugby with his ruthless, but humorous approach to the game. After more than a decade of Rugby played at the highest level, 'Fitzy' retired with an incredible winning percentage of 80% in Test matches for his country. In a striking photograph taken during a Bledisloe Cup match, the essence of the scrum - perhaps even of Rugby itself, was brilliantly captured. Like a herd of wild buffalo, the All Black front row - with Fitzy at the centre, prepare to pack in against Australia. This is the definitive study of this fierce competitor at the peak of his powers. In a style reflective of limited edition art prints, the central focus is the photograph, with the original signature, limited edition numbering and biographical information appearing beneath. Importantly, each edition has been individually hand-signed by Sean Fitzpatrick, thereby providing a lasting authentic link to one of the game's greats captured in distinctive form. Only 350 will ever be published. The integrity of the limited issue is protected by the major independent chartered accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers, who attended the signing.
