The inside story of Ian Foster's All Blacks

'A stunningly honest and insightful account of what it takes to coach the All Blacks.' - Gregor Paul

Appointed as head coach in 2019, Ian Foster led the All Blacks through one of the most tumultuous periods of the team's 120-year history.

Leading Under Pressure is a fascinating look into the pressure cooker inner-sanctum of the world's most famous rugby team. With revelations about Foster's time in the job, it also delves into the politics of rugby and the events preceding the dramatic 2023 Rugby World Cup.
