My Take

Jimmy Cowan represents the kind of rugby story I find genuinely stirring. A scrum-half from Gore, a small Southland town, who pulled on the All Blacks jersey from the 2004 tour through the 2011 World Cup, the tournament New Zealand finally won on home soil. Wearing that black jersey and performing the haka is its own pressure, and being the man who organises play behind the most feared team in the sport is a thankless, vital role. The arc from Gore High School to the world's elite is exactly the grafter's journey I am drawn to. I see him as a proud, hard-earned Kiwi warrior.

Overview

Quinton James Cowan (born 6 March 1982) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer. He first played for the All Blacks – New Zealand's national team – during the 2004 tour to the United Kingdom and France, and played his last Test match for the side during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
