About The Author
Samuel Whitelock
Samuel Whitelock was born and raised on a farm in Manawatu, in New Zealand’s North Island. Known for his humility, work ethic and performance under pressure, Whitelock credits his success to his close-knit family and rural upbringing.
Plying his trade in the second row as an agile, skilful modern-day lock, Whitelock stands alone in the record books. He was the first All Black to reach 150 caps, and finished on 153 - the second highest number of international appearances of any player. He was captain on 18 occasions.
Whitelock has played more Rugby World Cup matches than any other player - 26 - and has appeared in three finals. He has won 11 Tri-Nations or Rugby Championships, along with a Grand Slam. He has never been on the losing side in a Bledisloe Cup series.
Whitelock has appeared in 181 Super Rugby games, the fourth highest of any player, and has seven Super Rugby titles with the Crusaders - the most successful team in the competition’s history.
