Dan Carter : A Tribute to the All Blacks Perfect 10

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.

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.

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 ...

John Carlin
Published by:
Atlantic Books

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.
Invictus
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.

The 2005 rugby season marks the tenth anniversary of several inextricably linked rugby events - the creation of SANZAR, Tri-nations and the Super 12, and the associated rise of rugby professionalism.
Each of these events has had a significant impact on the face of international rugby and played a major part in the development of the modern game. While New Zealand has dominated the Super 12, Australia and South Africa have shared moments of glory in the fiercely fought Tri-nations.
All 60 Tri-nations matches and all of the Super 12 semi-finals and finals are featured in this complete record of an exciting and significant period in the history of rugby.
In this superbly illustrated book, Bob Howitt, one of the game's most experienced and well-known rugby writers, encapsulates the very best of these mighty contests and presents a celebration and an analysis of the closely fought rivalry among three great rugby ...

The All Blacks are one of the most enduringly successful and best-known sports teams in the world. Rugby people follow their every move and are more likely to know key dates in All Black history than they are their own wedding anniversary. But not everyone knows everything there is to know about the All Blacks. This is the book for them. When did the All Blacks first perform the haka, and why? What is the haka? How many different haka have the All Blacks performed? And here's a question that may even stump the rugby enthusiasts: when did the All Blacks do the haka during a match? And why are they called the All Blacks? Why did black become the colour of not just the national rugby team, but of every New Zealand sports team? And an integral part of the black uniform is the silver fern - how did that come about? Many questions will be answered for the uninitiated, the young, the visitors to New Zealand and people just wanting to immerse ...

Anton Oliver with Brian Turner

A double university degree and a career in rugby - hardly the norm for an All Black front-rower. Anton Oliver, though, is different. Anton Oliver is the thinking man's rugby player. In this biography of the great Otago hooker, Brian Turner explores the life of a professional rugby player from angles previously untouched. He focuses on the good things to come out of rugby's moneyed age and, as well, looks at the many pitfalls for young sportsmen who are thrust into the limelight and dished out vast and, seemingly, endless sums of money. Turner and Oliver draw fascinating conclusions. As well, the book looks at the highs and lows of Oliver's career - a career that has been as controversial as it has been successful.

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.

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 ...
