How the captains of the last 50 years have gone about leading the world's most successful rugby team.


The job of All Blacks captain comes with a scrutiny that puts it alongside the prime minister in terms of profile and public expectation. It takes a strong, confident and assured personality to captain a team where failure is never tolerated.

The Captain's Run is a behind the scenes journey into the world of All Blacks captaincy. It reveals how the great captains dealt with the pressure of the toughest job in world rugby, how they coped with failure, and what they would have done differently, if given their time again.

Gregor Paul is The New Zealand Herald's most respected rugby columnist and is a regular contributor to publications around the world. He has won multiple journalism awards for news, features and opinion writing, and is a sought after guest on radio and TV.

His bestselling biography Steve Hansen: The Legacy was shortlisted for the The Sunday Times Sports Book Awards 2023.

Gregor was born and raised in Scotland, and has lived in Auckland with his wife and three children since 2003.
