Awww… You guys…
Who'd have thought a sport that's so rough and manly would have such
sentimental supporters?
Yesterday we asked for you Best
All Black Moment and boy, did you guys deliver!
So many awesome responses, this has to have been the hardest competition to
pick a winner from. There's stories of childhood and staying up late to watch
the game with your dad… There's golden day stories of rushing the field after
the game, and Lomu's decimation of the English defense…
Of course as always, there can be only one winner…

It's almost a week later, and we're still stoked with the outcome of the
game on the weekend. Good job boys, way to bring home the cup!
It seems the folks at Logitech feel the same way, as they've given us an All
Blacks UE BOOM to give away in celebration!
You have to see these things in action. Not only do they provide amazing
audio anywhere you want, but they blast out national pride every time you turn
them on by chanting the Haka!

I had the pleasure of getting a sneak peek at the upcoming All
Blacks Rugby Challenge 2 on Friday last week.
Using the foundations of it's original predecessor All Blacks Rugby
Challenge, cosmetically there has been no major leap forward in the way it looks
.What Sidhe have done though is focused on making huge improvements on gameplay
so the gaming experience is much closer to the real thing – minus the
injuries and laundry of course!
Some of the additions to gameplay include quick taps, quick lineouts, mauls
from lineouts, interceptions, and contesting ball at the breakdown. If you sense
that you are losing a ruck now you can remove players and return them to the
defensive line. The number 8 now also has the ability to pick up the ball in
scrums.
The game includes the highly anticipated British and Irish Lions 2013 Tour
of Australia. Grant Nisbett and Justin Marshall return to the commentary team
and given the games popularity in France, French language commentary from Eric
Bayle and Thomas Lombard has been added.

All Blacks captain Richie McCaw's autobiography The
Open Side has just arrived into our warehouse and is shipping
today. The book, written with Greg McGee, is the first and only book that McCaw
intends to release!
“His stellar career began back in 2001 when he debuted against Ireland
at the age of 20. Now, 11 seasons later, he is the most capped All Black in
history, with 103 tests under his belt. A measure of McCaw's ability at the
very highest level is the fact that he has been awarded the IRB's supreme prize
as best player in the world on three occasions – 2006, 2009 and 2010. No
other player has ever won the award twice. Unlike many other players of his
generation, McCaw has shunned all advances to publish ‘interim’ books about
his career. He has always said that he will do just one book… and now is
that time.”
Order
your copy of Richie McCaw's The Open Side before 4pm today for overnight
delivery!
“Brownlie, Nathan, Tremain, Mourie, Kirkpatrick, Jones, Kronfeld…all
products of rugby union's greatest loose forward factory. Now, though, a name
stands alone. Richie McCaw has rightly taken his place at the top of tree –
the greatest flanker ever to represent New Zealand and, on sheer results, the
greatest captain international rugby has ever known.”
Richie McCaw has previously shunned all advances to publish interim books
about his career. He has always said that he will do just one book… and now is
that time!

McCaw: The Open Side is scheduled to release on the October 9th,
pre-order now and save $10.00 off the RRP!
Want some insight into two great All Blacks personalities?
Former All Blacks coach, Graham Henry, and scrum-half, Piri Weepu, are the
subject of two books that are being released next month.
Graham
Henry: Final Word by Bob Howitt
"After the All Blacks crashed out of the 2007 World Cup, humiliatingly
at the quarter-final stage, Graham Henry thought his time as an international
rugby coach was up. With his faithful coaching partners Wayne Smith and Steve
Hansen, he would weather the storm and go on to make the All Blacks the most
successful and entertaining team in the world, bringing absolute joy to the
‘stadium of four million’ when they claimed the Rugby World Cup in 2011, for
which Graham would be knighted.
