Final Word is an honest and reflective look at the life and career of a truly remarkable and often controversial leader. With the Rugby World Cup win in 2011, Graham Henry broke the 24-year curse and restored the NZ All Blacks to the top of the rugby pedestal. But while Graham began and ended his career on a high, along the way he experienced moments of despair, bordering on depression. At the lowest point in his career, he almost gave it all away. This book traces his lack-lustre academic career, surprising considering he rose to become a successful headmaster; his achievements as a cricketer, the origins of his rugby coaching; and his strong partnership with his wife, Raewyn. Graham reveals the drastic measures he took to change the culture within the All Blacks and set them on the path to becoming world champions. In his eight years as coach, the All Blacks maintained an incredible 85 per cent success rate across 106 matches and, of course, claimed the Webb Ellis Trophy at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49532391457041,"sku":"GOR005498892","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689576395025,"sku":"NLS9780007514670","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53710688551185,"sku":"GOR006485096","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0007514670.jpg?v=1751100633"},{"product_id":"henry-s-pride-book-graham-henry-9781840184877","title":"Henry's Pride","description":"An insider's view of the first Lions tour of the new millennium, this is an account of the contest for the unofficial \"world championship\" between Australia and the successors to the winning Lions of 1997 through the eyes of the Lions' first overseas coach, New Zealander Graham Henry. Can the Lions strike a blow for European rugby and break the mould of Southern Hemisphere dominance by beating the current world champions? This book looks at the rich heritage of the British Lions - the 1950s, Carwyn James in 1971, Ian McGeechan in 1997 - and draws a family line down through their coaching philosophies to Henry's own. It follows him through the debate about his own appointment, the process of selection and the bonding of four home unions into one squad with a common purpose. It traces the Lions' development through their first contact with Australian Super 12 sides, including the ground-breaking ACT Brumbies; considers the psychological\/analytical battle with Henry's old adversary Rod Macqueen and his support team; and gives a fly-on-the-wall view of the seven-day build-up to a Test match.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49533634248977,"sku":"GOR001365427","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49590312894737,"sku":"GOR003749420","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52796939010321,"sku":"GOR004621834","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1840184876.jpg?v=1750724433"},{"product_id":"final-word-book-graham-henry-9781869509736","title":"Final Word","description":"Final Word is an honest and reflective look at the life and career of a truly remarkable and often controversial leader in world rugby.
