Our Game celebrates the grassroots of our national game - rugby played by weekend warriors on provincial fields. Masters, juniors, all-comers. Far from the glare of stadium lights, the real game takes place in snow and mud, in back paddocks and on beaches. This is the origin of the sport in New Zealand, the source of every All Black of the future, and its greatest legacy. As much as it is a sport of the people, rugby is a sport of the landscape, the rural scene that is part of New Zealand's wider context. Taking in these themes, New Zealand Geographic photographer Arno Gasteiger has captured the sport, the heart and soul of New Zealand, and the landscape in which it is played in an unrivalled hardback book, Our Game. An enlightening, humourous text by writer and rugby-enthusiast Peter Malcouronne adds context that turns this photographic tribute into a terrific read. Rich in anecdotes from his own checkered career through rugby's bastions in Bluff and West Auckland, Malcouronne's writing is an accessible, funny and at times irreverant vision of the game as it is known by all New Zealanders.
