Description

Bill Bush (Billy Bush) has a life story unlike any other All Black. A kina diver at primary school, a labourer at the Marsden Point refinery at 14, it took a promise of a Fanta and a pie to get him to play rugby, a sport he initially reckoned was too rough for him.The reluctant warrior became a fearsome, revered All Black prop, and captained and coached the M?ori All Blacks. His insights on rugby, and its place in New Zealand life, are unique.Billy Bush is not all about playing rugby but explains his whakapapa (lineage), his upbringing, his beliefs, and hopefully demonstrates that there are other ways to get on in life and to be successful.

About the Author

A legendary hard man, Billy Bush played 37 games for the All Blacks between 1974 and 1979. He has been a wonderful contributor to M?ori rugby.
