DescriptionFirst-choice All Blacks prop Kees Meeuws - a man destined to anchor the New Zealand scrum thorugh to the next World Cup - shocked a rugby nation when he decided to uproot his family and move to France to take up a club contract with Castres. Meeuws, 30, and a veteran of 42 test matches for New Zealand did what very few players have done before. He turned his back on a high-profile lifestyle to sample the dlights of rugby European-style. In this book Meeuws tells of the mental anguish he faced as he wrestled with the biggest decision of his career. He also talks about his long and distinguished provincial and international career with the demands of being a top rugby player in New Zealand. The main focus is on his first season with the Castres club in the south of France, which is presented in diary form. |
