Black Obsession : The All Blacks' quest for World Cup success

Since the first World Cup in 1987, the All Blacks have amassed a winning record that is far superior to any other country. Yet by the time the next World Cup rolls around in 2011, it will be 24 years since the All Blacks have been world champions. How can that be? This very readable book draws some provocative conclusions on why New Zealand no longer produces great leaders and why rugby remains such an important part of the national psyche. Part travel guide, part social history and part self-help manual, it is the ideal book for all those fans who can't help steering conversations towards All Black World Cup failures.

Captain of the All blacks, McCaw has carved a niche for himself as a modern day great. The book charts his career from Cantervury and Crusaders star to All Black glory.
Richie McCaw’s standing within the All Blacks team is unmatched. The captain of Graham Henry’s team since 2006, McCaw has carved a niche for himself as the modern-day great within the All Blacks - the charismatic, never-say-die leader whom fans of the Men in Black have come to hold in the same light as many of the most revered captains of yesteryear.
Richie McCaw: A Tribute to a Modern-day Rugby Great charts the career of the proud Canterbury and Crusaders star who first burst into the national rugby conscience in 2001 when he helped his province to an NPC championship. Soon after, he was making his All Blacks debut in Dublin, beginning a test career that will ultimately culminate at the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand.

Ever since he burst onto the test rugby scene in New Zealand in 2003, Dan Carter has been earmarked for greatness. His exploits for Canterbury, the Crusaders and the All Blacks are the stuff of legends. He did the 'impossible' early on in his international career when he made the rugby nation forget about Andrew Mehrtens - a first-five whom many thought couldn't be replaced for at least a generation.
But Carter not only replaced Mehrtens but he took the art of first-five-eighth play to a new level, as shown by his performance against the Lions in 2005 when he came head to head with England's 'best ever', Jonny Wilkinson.
This book, the eighth in HarperCollins' Tribute series, celebrates Dan Carter's life - from the backblocks of Canterbury to the biggest rugby stages in the world.

Robbie Deans is Canterbury aristocracy - and comes from a long line of distinguished rugby players who have represented both the beloved province and New Zealand. He has been an assistant coach to the All Blacks, and the driving force behind the Canterbury Crusaders, one of the leading teams in the International Rugby Super 12 and Super 14 competition. Now, controversially the first Kiwi coach of the All Blacks arch nemesis - the Wallabies, he faces a challenging year of divided loyalties. With fierce pride Cantabrian rugby supporters worship the ground he walks on, and this book will capture the essence of a super coach.

DoP August 2009, Auckland
In this celebration of New Zealand rugby a number of NZ rugby matches are remembered, and presented with the match programmes that were printed for them. The selection mixes famous test and provincial games with less well-remembered but equally fascinating matches. It includes classic games such as the 'Did-Deans-score-or-didn't-he?' 1905 test against Wales during the tour by The Originals, Ranfurly Shield games, the shock 1978 loss to Munster, one of the riot-torn 1981 matches against the Springboks, and RWC encounters. Accompanying each programme is a brief but pithy match report describing the general flow of play as well as stand-out phases and players. And lovers of statistics will enjoy such details as ground condition, attendance figures, players' lists and scoring details. Includes approx.

Ali Williams breaks the mould as an All Black tight forward. A confirmed urbanite, Ali Williams switched his Super 14 allegiances from Auckland to Christchurch in 2007 after a much-publicised bust-up with Australian coach David Nucifora. In this book Williams will take a light-hearted look at rugby at the very top in New Zealand and will touch on some of the more controversial aspects of his career - including his earth-shattering dismissal from the Blues' tour of South Africa in 2007. As well, Williams will revisit the failed 2007 World Cup campaign, look at the All Blacks' rotation and reconditioning policies; the famous incident when his jaw was broken in a collision with Frenchman Sebastien Chabal and analyse differences in the Crusaders and Blues setups. He will also talk of his charity work and explain the reasons why he stayed in New Zealand after the World Cup and thus turning his back on the big bucks on offer in ...

Some critics, in fact, regard the book as the finest sports book ever published in New Zealand.2006 marks 50 years, since the mighty Springboks suffered their first series defeat at the hands of the All Blacks. In Old Heroes (first published in 1991) Warwick Roger sets out to discover what it was that made 1956 so special, for himself, and for the country. Through his own recollections of '56 - his eleventh year - and those of his contemporaries, older fans sports commentators and the 'old heroes' - the players on both sides - he compiles a vivid profile of a unique time in New Zealand's social history.

This book has a central proposition: that rugby is not sustainable if it continues down the commercial path it is currently following. Control of the game is being steadily transferred from those who thought they owned it to commercial and media interests who see it purely as a commodity. Of all the great team sports rugby has been the most dependent on tradition, inclusiveness and the notion of the game being more important than the individual. After a century and a half of comfortable conservatism rugby suddenly found itself confronted by a professional revolution not of its own making and it has struggled ever since to come to terms with it. This book is controversial, thought provoking and has wide appeal - it addresses a series of issues which threaten New Zealand rugby.
