232 x 152 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; colour plates. Fine condition. "Author Rob van der Valk - Nick Mallett's friend, confidant and manager at club, provincial and Springbok level - pulls no punches as he lays bare the back-room deals and clashing egos that dominate South African rugby. The issues of race, money and politics are unflinchingly tackled as Nick & I explains exactly why South Africa has slipped down the international rankings. And Van der Valk provides intriguing insights into what really happened in the national set-up under Mallett; what really happens at Springbok initiation; why Breyton Paulse was told he wasn't good enough; which player got the best pay deal at the 1999 World Cup and how Joost van der Westhuizen's sacking as Bok captain was cleverly disguised. Nick & I isn't just the story of what went on then, it's essential reading to understand what's happening now.".
