In his latest book on New Zealand rugby veteran journalist Lindsay Knight, one of the game's foremost historians, takes a detailed look at the men who over the past 100 years have spearheaded the All Blacks from the first five-eighths position. From Billy Stead through to the current superstar Daniel Carter, Knight provides penetrating profiles, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the dozen or more whom he rates as the most influential in what arguably is a team's most sensitive position. Despite being a hot seat at times, Knight concludes the All Blacks generally have been fortunate in the calibre of the men who have lined up in the first five jersey and accordingly they are celebrated in these pages.
