The official site of the All Blacks, the New Zealand national rugby team. Other NZ rugby sites worth checking out include the NZ Rugby Union and NZ Rugby World, home to New Zealand community rugby.
I'm Chairman of the Board of USA Rugby, committed to inspiring the sport's development in America at every level. Between 2006 and 2010, USA rugby membership increased by around 35%. A wave is rising nationally and also internationally. Look out for the USA Eagles teams making a mark on the world stage. The 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cups will see the Eagles fly high.
The All Blacks are kings of New Zealand sport, but found themselves in All White shade at the 2010 World Cup. Despite at the outset being widely considered one of the worst teams in the tournament, Ricki Herbert’s men took a point off of reigning champions Italy and earned an amazing distinction – the only undefeated team of the entire tournament. I’ll link to that.
Rugby is the game they play in heaven and the 2011 tournament takes place in my home New Zealand. During September and October the gladiators of 20 rugby nations will go to head to head in 48 matches
