Since taking over the job of All Black coach in December 2003,
Graham Henry has revolutionised the way New Zealand views its
national rugby team. He inherited a team that had not only
capitulated in the semi-final of the World Cup - alluding to a
psychological frailty that had infested New Zealand players - but
also a team that had become divorced from the public after coach
John Mitchell shunned media, sponsors and New Zealand Rugby Union
executives. Henry has taken the view that if he does the same old
things he'll get the same old results so has flouted convention
throughout his tenure to try and give the All Blacks the best
possible chance of winning the World Cup in 2007. He has introduced
a radical rotational policy as he chases his dream of building two
genuine test-quality teams, unearthed a host of global stars,
unified the individual Super 14 franchises to support his cause,
attempted to broaden the life skills of the players, kicked out the
booze culture and created one of the best rugby sides ever seen. As
a consequence, New Zealand will travel to France for the World Cup
as red-hot favourites This book reveals how he has managed to
succeed in areas where so many of his predecessors have failed. It
is the ultimate journey behind the scenes of the All Black camp,
detailing the key decisions and policies - how they were made and
why they were made.
