Jamie Wall. Allen & Unwin, 2019. 368 pages, excellent condition
What happened to the All Blacks at the 2019 Rugby World Cup?
They were aiming for their third title in a row. A win would have capped a decade of dominance for the team and provided a fitting end to the careers of Steve Hansen and Kieran Read.
But it turned out to be a much tougher challenge, and ended in crushing failure. Heroics & Heartbreak is Jamie Wall's story of the campaign, from someone who was there every step of the way.
