As he prepared to become the first captain to successfully defend the World Cup, McCaw set the standard of what a professional rugby player should be. His account of tracing Lien and telling her story is a searing exploration of two lives and two families.In 2015, the All Blacks team I’d been a part of for more than 12 years won the Rugby World Cup, and I had one of the best games I’d ever played in the black jersey. I knew I could do the rehab because I’d done it so many times before; I didn’t have that same certainty about life after rugby.
