Richie McCaw: A tribute to a modern-day rugby great order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each
Paperback
Author: John Matheson
In Stock: 4
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.

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

NZ$ 37.00 each
Paperback
Author: Gregor Paul
In Stock: 3
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.

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.

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. 60 full-colour facsimiles of programmes, plus b/w photographs

Author: Ali Williams with James Griffin

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 ... more

Buck Shelford order quantity

NZ$ 40.00 each
Hardback
Author: John Matheson

When Buck Shelford was dropped as All Black captain there was a public outcry - bring back Buck - with bumper stickers and posters and graffiti to that effect springing up overnight. The popular, highly respected hard man, famous for playing on through a severe groin injury, impervious to pain because he was the captain and he wouldn't leave his men, Buck Shelford is now regarded as the ultimate All Black. In the light of the disastrous 2007 All Black World Cup campaign, the news that Buck Shelford was battling cancer sent a shudder through the rugby fans who remember him and his courage and skill and strength of leadership. Those qualities will be celebrated in this tribute to one of the greatest, and most loved All Blacks.

Paperback
Author: Mils Muliaina with Lynn McConnell
In Stock: 1
With more than 50 test matches at fullback under his belt, Mils Muliaina is the most capped All Blacks No.15 of all time. Muliaina combines pace and a dangerous counter-attacking ability with dependability and strong positional play at the back for New Zealand. He also has the speed and rugby nous to play at the highest level at either wing or centre. He has scored 21 test tries for the All Blacks, which places him amongst the top 10 all-time test tryscorers for New Zealand. Mils Muliaina's biography will plot a highly unusual path to the pinnacle of New Zealand rugby. Born in Samoa, Muliaina's family moved to Invercargill when he was a young boy. He played through the age grades in Southland before moving north to Auckland and boarding at Kelston Boys' High. A veteran of two World Cup campaigns with the All Blacks, Muliaina will cast a critical eye across the state of the game in New Zealand and what the All Blacks have to do to win ... more

Fifteen years on since it was first published, Old Heroes is regarded by many as a classic in the annals of New Zealand sports publishing. 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.

Author: Wally Lewis with Neil Cadigan
In Stock: 1
Wally Lewis will forever be known to rugby league fans as ‘The King’. He could do what appeared to be impossible on the field and yet, unbeknown to those around him, including his family and closest friends, he managed to perform at the most elite level while hiding a secret.

When he finally revealed to a stunned public that he’d been living with epilepsy for years, he did so just prior to undergoing life-saving brain surgery for the neurological disorder. Wally talks of the difficulty he had in facing major surgery and the emotional and physical impact of his deteriorating condition, including a dramatic virtual ‘blackout’ on air in 2006. Interestingly, Wally dealt with his only daughter’s deafness publicly, all the while keeping his own crisis so profoundly private.

Following a successful procedure Wally has gone on to work with epilepsy organisations to raise awareness about the disorder, helping de-stigmatise the condition ... more

Playing The Enemy : Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Carlin John
In Stock: 1
In June 1995, Nelson Mandela conquered the hearts of white South Africa and united his country, black and white, behind their rugby team. This book tells the extraordinary story of the journey to that moment. As the day of the final of the 1995 Rugby World Cup dawned, and the Springboks faced New Zealand's all-conquering All Blacks, more was at stake than a sporting trophy. When Nelson Mandela appeared wearing a Springboks jersey and led the all-white Afrikaner-dominated team in singing South Africa's new national anthem, he conquered the hearts of white South Africa. "Playing the Enemy" tells the extraordinary human story of how that moment became possible. It shows how a sport, once the preserve of South Africa's Afrikaans-speaking minority, came to unify the new rainbow nation, and tells of how - just occasionally - something as simple as a game really can help people to rise above themselves and see beyond their differences.
