Download or read book Robbie Deans written by Matt McIraith and published by Hardie Grant Books. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robbie Deans: Red, Black & Gold tells the compelling story of one of the world’s greatest rugby personalities. Robbie Deans’ 12-year playing career included five tests for the All Blacks and a starring role at Canterbury. After 17 years in coaching, he boasts a remarkable near-70 percent success rate. Robbie remains Super Rugby’s most successful head coach, was the first non-Australian to coach the Wallabies and finished his time there as Australia’s most capped test coach. Spoken with the same honesty he brings to coaching, Robbie reveals the old-fashioned values that have underpinned his career success. He discusses his time in the All Blacks coaching team and the fascinating background to his failure to land the top job. Robbie also breaks his silence on his departure from the Wallabies, examining in depth his five turbulent years with the team and the systemic and cultural challenges he faced there. Matt McIlraith is the only person to have held the position as team media manager for both the All Blacks and the Wallabies. A former editor of Rugby News, McIlraith hails from New Zealand. McIlraith worked alongside Robbie Deans as part of the All Blacks management in 2002 and 2003, and as media manager for the Canterbury Rugby Union and the Crusaders between 2006 and 2008. He subsequently accompanied Deans to Australia for the duration of his tenure as Australian coach. This is his fourth book.

Download or read book Rugby League in New Zealand written by Ryan Bodman and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a sport told through its communities. Rugby League in New Zealand: A People’s History unveils the compelling journey of a game flourishing against the odds. Beginning with the game’s introduction to the country in 1907, Ryan Bodman reveals the deep-rooted connections between rugby league’s development and the evolving cultural fabric of New Zealand. By questioning the mythic status of rugby union in the nation’s identity, this history highlights how power, politics and people have collectively shaped the country’s sporting scene. Drawing on first-hand interviews and a wide range of illustrations and archival material, Bodman locates rugby league history in working-class suburbs, and among Kiingitanga Māori, Pasifika migrants, and clubs and communities across the country. The people behind the game share accounts of change, triumph and resilience, while emphasising rugby league’s lasting influence on New Zealanders’ lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of New Zealanders and the sports that we have made our own, from the Maori world to today's professional athletes.&‘. . . those two mighty products of the land, the Canterbury lamb and the All Blacks, have made New Zealand what she is in spite of politicians' claims to the contrary', wrote Dick Brittenden in 1954. &‘For many in New Zealand, prowess at sport replaces the social graces; in the pubs, during the furious session between 5pm and closing time an hour later, the friend of a relative of a horse trainer is a veritable patriarch. No matador in Madrid, no tenor in Turin could be sure of such flattering attention.' As Brittenden suggested, sport has played a central part in the social and cultural history of Aotearoa New Zealand throughout its history. This book tells the story of sport in New Zealand for the first time, from the Maori world to today's professional athletes. Through rugby and netball, bodybuilding and surf lifesaving, the book introduces readers to the history of the codes, the organisations and the players. It takes us into the stands and on to the sidelines to examine the meaning of sport to its participants, its followers, and to the communities to which they belonged. Why did rugby become much more important than soccer in New Zealand? What role have Maori played in our sporting life? Do we really &‘punch above our weight' in international sport? Does sport still define our national identity? Viewing New Zealand sport as activity and as imagination, Sport and the New Zealanders is a major history of a central strand of New Zealand life.

Download or read book Fringe Nations in World Soccer written by Kausik Bandyopadhyay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soccer is the most popular mass spectator sport in the world, gaining huge media coverage and reaching all levels of society in countries all around the world. More than just entertainment, soccer has proved to be a reflection of national, cultural, community and ethnic identity as well as an indication of the development and international status of post-colonial nation states. For those nations still at the fringes of the modern global game, soccer represents a vision of potential commercialisation, capable of generating foreign reserves and bringing in considerable economic power. This book explores aspects of the development of soccer in countries which have recently been marginalised in world soccer or have only erratic success on the international stage. These fringe nations include a greater part of Africa, the USA, Australia, Israel, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, Indonesia, Thailand, Maldives and Sri Lanka, and while these countries are rarely noticed by the global football media, they nonetheless have great potential to excel, and many have a rich soccer heritage that still holds a place of central importance in the every day life of the people. This book was previously published as a special issue of Soccer and Society.

Book excerpt: FIRST TO CARE: 125 YEARS OF THE ORDER OF ST JOHN IN NEW ZEALAND, 1885-2010 brings to life the history of one of our most ubiquitous and vital charitable organisations. The heavily illustrated book provides a vivid account of public-spiritedness, enterprise and innovation by people involved in St John over the past 125 years, peppered with occasional disputes and setbacks along the way. St John invented and popularised 'first aid' as we know it. It provided medical assistance from the sidelines of our sports fields from as early as 1891 and it played a leading role in disaster relief from its formative days. From humble beginnings it established a nationwide ambulance service that today is the envy of the St John fraternity worldwide.
