The Captain's Run: What it Takes to Lead the All Blacks

Written by Gregor Paul

Narrated by Greg Smith

How the captains of the last 50 years have gone about leading the world's most successful rugby team.

The job of All Blacks captain comes with a scrutiny that puts it alongside the prime minister in terms of profile and public expectation. It takes a strong, confident and assured personality to captain a team where failure is never tolerated.

The Captain's Run is a behind the scenes journey into the world of All Blacks captaincy. It reveals how the great captains dealt with the pressure of the toughest job in world rugby, how they coped with failure, and what they would have done differently, if given their time again.
