About this book

Despite the evidence that New Zealand rugby has managed the transition to professionalism reasonably well, there is a perception that the game has lost its way and is in serious decline at the grassroots. Is our national sport really facing a crisis? Award-winning writer Paul Thomas examines rugby from the playground to the boardroom.

Everyone who cares about the past, present, and future of New Zealand rugby should know what he finds there.
