          Not strictly an All Black, but Graham Henry's book is on kindle as well.

              I flicked through Cory Jane's book at the shop. There's some good humour there. I'd imagine Beavers book would be the same. The better the All Black the worse the book.

                  I've heard it's a cracker. I also liked Peter Fats, Norm Hewitt Josh Kronfeld and Walter Little/Frank Bunce.

                    That would make Ian Jones the greatest AB of all time.

                      Todd Blackadder actually.

                      Jonesy a close second.

                        Murray Mexted must be on the top 10 too , mind you I gave up on the book when he started talking about “ spoofing” so can’t tell you if there’s anything in there about Renee Chignall.

                          I don't know whether this has already been posted on the Fern and I haven't read it, but I found the article below with an extract from Taine Randell's story:

                                  I read that excerpt thinking it was a book about Taine Randell. It was interesting enough, I guess, but a whole book like that? Not interested!

                                  When I saw Eric Rush's excerpt on the Herald I realised what it actually was. I'm going to be all over it as this sort of book is right up my alley. Even if it is the journey of an ex player not knowing what to do and so getting into commentating and coaching, that would still be interesting to me.

                                    My brother was one of the oil traders that Taine worked with in London. He'd been in the industry for years and both being Kiwi's they used to knock around a bit. Taine stayed at my brothers place here a couple of times and it was clear that his time in London had been very - social. He had very very heavy bones.

                                    He reckoned fitness wise strapping the boots back on. Saw him a couple of months ago in Koru at Napier and he looked pretty much back to his playing condition.

                                    I know there are dissenting opinions but I think he was one of the more wasted talents of the professional era.

                                    Interesting comments on Mitchell and Deans too. Not a fan of them as coaches or people.

                                      @dogmeat Unsurprising he doesn't think much of Mitchell and Deans, they screwed him a couple of times. I remember seeing him when he first got back - he'd eaten well. Agree he was a wasted talent, but then we have the same background aside from he was awesome at rugby and I wasn't.

                                      Also, the article doesn't mention the work he does with Maori/poverty charities (outside of the omissions scheme) in Flaxmere as well.

                                      I need to find rugby books on Kindle now after I got rid of all my books and magazines this week - was a bit dusty as I was clearing them all out.

                                        I'm still trying to find Tana's on kindle but it's hardcover only on Amazon.

                                        I'd prefer to get rid of almost all my physical books, but the wife wants a library like this I'm guessing.

                                        I'm guessing because I don't want to have a conversation about it. That would provide the wrong signals.

                                          I'm with your wife, I didn't want to get rid of my books, but did the sums on my storage locker one day and realised it had cost me a decent few weeks in Europe or few months in Asia holidaying. Very depressing.

He'd been in the industry for years and both being Kiwi's they used to knock around a bit. Taine stayed at my brothers place here a couple of times and it was clear that his time in London had been very - social. He had very very heavy bones.

                                            He reckoned fitness wise strapping the boots back on. Saw him a couple of months ago in Koru at Napier and he looked pretty much back to his playing condition.

                                            I know there are dissenting opinions but I think he was one of the more wasted talents of the professional era.

                                            Interesting comments on Mitchell and Deans too. Not a fan of them as coaches or people.

                                            That's not saying a hell of a lot. He was pretty poor in all the ABs strength testing back in the day apparently.

                                                No chance. Only genuine #athletes can do that.
