Yet McCaw's book offers an intriguing and unflinching insight into leading the All Blacks in a home World Cup and helps explain why it felt as if he had "spent four years in a tunnel". From that struggle onward, the commitment given by McCaw, his team, the coaching and supporting staff around them to eventually be victorious in the World Cup in front of their own fans, and that feeling of winning it after falling apart so many times was just awe-inspiring to read.

Now, after a stellar provincial, club and international career - including back-to-back World Cup victories - the New Zealand captain writes openly and honestly about his time in the game. In his autobiography, McCaw recounts for the first time, with brutal honesty, the roots of his family life that defined his character — learning to play the game on the family farm in South New Zealand and being inspired to fly gliders by his war-hero grandfather — and how it gave him the strength to emerge from the lowest moment in his career to become the most successful Captain world rugby has ever seen. The Real McCaw : The Autobiography Writer And the exciting thing is that I believe I'll come back even stronger and become a still better player. It's going to be six months before I play again. About The Author Mike. The fact that New Zealand find, under his example, a path to win even when faced with the most daunting deficits, whether in Dublin last year or in Brisbane last month, is not remotely a coincidence. The bones in his foot first broke in a pool game against France but McCaw refused to have himself x-rayed — while the All Blacks management, desperately needing his leadership, allowed him to evade prolonged medical scrutiny until after the World Cup.

    World Rugby House, 8-10 Pembroke Street Lower, Dublin 2, D02 AE93, Ireland. T: +353-1-2409-200 E: [email protected] Programme Report World Rugby On behalf of World Rugby, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in the outstanding achievements of the Impact Beyond 2019 programme. When the World Rugby Council awarded Rugby World Cup 2019 to Japan, we believed that it had the potential to be a powerful game-changer for rugby in Asia, the world’s most populous and youthful continent. In order to convert this potential into reality, the innovative Impact Beyond 2019 programme was created. The programme is closely aligned with World Rugby’s mission to grow the game globally and make a positive social impact through the power of rugby, leaving a long-lasting and sustainable legacy from our flagship event. The World Rugby programme, run in partnership with the Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU), Asia Rugby and 22 unions, has delivered truly impressive results. It was right at the heart of a very special and record-breaking Rugby World Cup 2019 and surpassed all expectations by achieving an incredible 2.25 million new rugby participants across Asia, including more than one million in Japan. Rugby is more than just a game and as part of the Impact Beyond programme more than £2m was pledged in a fantastic show of solidarity from the global rugby family to support ChildFund Pass It Back, the principal Rugby World Cup 2019 charity partner. Funds raised are transforming the lives of over 25,000 vulnerable children in disadvantaged communities across Asia through an integrated life skills and rugby curriculum.

  • Sir Graham Henry
    Sir Graham Henry Former Coach of the All Blacks, 2011 RWC Champions Sir Graham Henry is one of most successful Rugby Union coaches of all time. Sir Graham has been awarded the Coach of the Year by the International Rugby Board a record 5 times, the last in 2011 after coaching the All Blacks to winning the 2011 Rugby World Cup. When Sir Graham retired as the All Black coach in 2011, he had coached 103 test, of which they won 88, for a winning percentage of 85.4%. A brilliant coach and communicator, Graham understands how to create and lead successful teams. Sir Graham was a school teacher and principal in his early years and combined teaching and rugby coaching until 1996, when he took up full time rugby coaching. Sir Graham first came to major prominence as coach of the highly successful Auckland team. They won four NPC titles in succession (1993 – 1996), then as the Auckland Blues Super 12 team, which was the competition winner in 1996 and 1997 and runner-up in 1998. He made his international coaching debut in 1998 with Wales, where he stayed for four years. His major achievements in that role included wins over England and South Africa. In 2001, he became the first non-British or Irishman to coach the Lions on their tour of Australia. On his return to New Zealand, Sir Graham joined Auckland as defensive coordinator and technical analyst. The effect was immediate with Auckland lifting the 2002 National Provincial Championship, a feat that resulted in the Blues, starved of success since Sir Graham left for Wales, quickly tying him up for the 2003 Super 12 – which the Blues went on to win.
