About this title

Synopsis

Based on painstaking research into the early years of the England rugby union team and interviews with a vast array of Test match players from the Second World War to the present day, world-renowned rugby writers Stephen Jones and Nick Cain delve to the very heart of what it means to play for England, painting a unique and utterly compelling picture of the game. Detailing the glory, drama, and honor on the field, as well as the heart-warming tales of friendship and humor off it, this book is an absorbing and illuminating work that is a must-have for all supporters who have ever dreamed of walking the hallowed corridors of Twickenham as a Test match player and marching out to that field of dreams with the deafening roar of the crowd in their ears and the red rose emblazoned on their chest.
