John Matheson’s Black Days provides an intense and unflinching look at the daunting reality of facing the New Zealand All Blacks on the rugby pitch through the eyes of twelve of the greatest legends to ever play the game. Rather than a standard celebration of New Zealand’s dominance, the narrative focuses on the psychological and physical toll experienced by international icons such as Serge Blanco, David Campese and Gareth Edwards as they recount their most challenging encounters with the men in black. The book captures the unique aura of the All Blacks and explores the sheer pressure of competing against a team that represents a national obsession, detailing the preparation, the intimidation of the Haka, and the heavy burden of defeat. By weaving together these firsthand accounts, Matheson creates a definitive record of what it means to challenge rugby’s most formidable dynasty, offering readers a rare perspective on the sport where victory is celebrated but the "black days" of defeat leave the most lasting impressions.
