In September 2023, 20 countries will convene to play the Rugby World Cup. There are lots of great teams, but one has historically stood above the rest; the New Zealand All-Blacks. Over the more than a century of international rugby, New Zealand has dominated the sport; winning around 70% of their matches, including three World Cup Championships. It’s all the more remarkable because New Zealand is a tiny country of just 5 million people. This is the story of how one country fused its identity with a sport and created one of the best sports teams of all time.
