    So this is a bit of a weird one.

    I saw a great quote about the All Blacks about 20 years ago, and am trying to re-find it. I think it was from an Australian, something like

    'the wave of blackness washes over you' (or engulfs you) or something. I'm absolutely blowed if I can find it again - wanted to send it to someone.

    Anyone able to help? Sorry if it's vague as anything, and thanks in advance

    Not sure what it is, but it sounds like the sort of thing Buddha Handy would say.

    @nzzp is it this from Gareth Edwards ?

    “There is something about the blackness of their jersey that strikes fear into your heart."

    That's been attributed to Edwards but I recall seeing something somewhere that it may (may) be apocryphal. A bit like the beer quote ( Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy) wasn't said by Benjamin Franklin.

    Regardless how true both of the quotes are.

    It was certainly in his autobiography.
