The countdown is on to the highly
anticipated release of Richie McCaw’s biography –The Open Side ($49.99
RRP, Hodder Moa).
The book, which goes on sale on
Tuesday 9 October, is currently available for pre-order from booksellers
around the country and anyone who reserves their copy is in the draw to win a
supporter’s pack valued at $4,000.
Captain of the All Blacks since
2006, McCaw is the face of rugby in New Zealand and one of our best-known and
most admired figures. He has been named International Player of the Year three
times and is considered the greatest player of his generation, and quite
possibly the finest loose forward of all time.
In The Open Side, he reveals
his passions and motivations, on and off the field. Teamed with Greg McGee, one
of our great contemporary writers — and a man who himself is no stranger to
rugby culture — the two have produced an outstanding book.
The Open Side delves into
the inner McCaw, the defining events and people in his life, as well as
providing insight into the modern game and its professional players and
coaches.
Richie will be doing two days of
book signings in the week of publication at stores in Auckland and
Christchurch. A full list of where he will be can be found on the Author Tour
section of www.hachette.co.nz
