Colin Meads - All Black

Strong, forceful, lively, contraversial - these words aptly describe both this biography and its subject. Colin Meads, one of the greatest rugby forwards of all time, grew up in the King Country against a background of hill country sheep farming on land as tough and uncompromising as Meads himself. Alex Veysey covers the life and career of the man - his boyhood, his family, his growth from a large, shy boy to a very large and outspoken adult.
