Category: New Zealand

For the first time, a camera goes deep inside the sacred space of the All Black camp - revealing the highs and the lows, the pain and the passion, the commitment and the courage of New Zealand's iconic sporting team. Best-selling photojournalist Nick Danziger and writer James Kerr have been granted unpr ecedented access to the All Black environment as the team builds towards the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
