The is the book I decided to write after the 2014 Three-Test England Tour of New Zealand.

The following should fill-in any places out of the online description:

Rugby Union. Code of Kings. Game they Play in Heaven.

In the June of 2014, England journeyed to New Zealand for a Three-Test Series against the World Champion, All Blacks, and the world of rugby watched on. This was much anticipated after the epic Tests of 2012 and 2013 at Twickenham. On three successive Saturdays the two sides would battle for the Hillary Shield that also had Everest implications toward Rugby World Cup 2015.

This title, NEW RUGBYLAND, documents this Tour as never before. Jonny King will lead you on the journey of this rugby time; re-creating the experience for some to remember; re-counting for others to grasp anew, while doing so with the unique literary appeal and distinctives of this scribe. You can read more about his pedigree below.

NEW RUGBYLAND is blazing a new trail in recording and retelling the stories of the sport we love. Yes, it is a book, but through the wonders of this mediated world, it has been produced only days after the Series has finished in Hamilton, New Zealand. It is a production of June. Yet, it pulls together other material that will help unlock some of the myth of this rugby part of the world.

This document is a living witness of the journey through a rugby contest that captivates untold numbers strewn across this planetary system.

If you love rugby, if you love the All Blacks, if you love New Zealand, if you love England, if you love all sports, and even if you simply love to enter into another’s story for a time; this book is for you. It is about rugby, but even more so, it is about how we do life.
