Journalist Peter Bills, who has covered international rugby for forty years, gained exclusive access to all the major figures in New Zealand rugby. His goal: to understand the secrets behind the All Blacks' success. From Steve Hansen and Beauden Barrett to Richie McCaw and Sir Colin Meads, the author interviewed nearly 100 personalities in New Zealand and around the world. Drawing on this intimate and insightful knowledge, he details the specific characteristics and identity of New Zealand rugby: the role of schools, rugby instruction, the contribution of Pacific Island players, the haka, and more, deconstructing the mechanisms of the All Blacks' magic. It is the story of the pioneers and the Originals who have passed on their legacy from generation to generation to the current All Blacks. This book sheds light on the role of everyone involved: players, coaches, managers, fans, and all those who have worn the world's most iconic jersey. It's also a poignant story, not only about a team but also about a nation. Finally, this book poses a terrifying question for their opponents: can the All Blacks still improve?
