Dallaglio Lawrence Bücher

The inside story of England's historic 2003 Rugby World Cup win told by the people and players who were there, published on the 20th anniversary

The colossus of English rugby tells his story at last

Lawrence Dallaglio recalls with affection and razor-sharp humor the behind-the-scenes stories that have previously only been shared within the world of international rugby, together with some classics from his rugby-playing colleagues and mates. There's the one about the 2003 World Cup winner who curtseyed to the queen, and another featuring the rugby legend who was affronted by the suggestion that he had been out on the town until 3 a.m. days before a crucial match. "Don't you look at me," he cried indignantly, "I got in at six." Featuring big games, bigger personalities, quick-fire banter, and the odd pint or two, these are the best of the best from the legends of the dressing room, pitch, and pub.
