Since their less than glorious appearance at the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand, England have been building a team with the work ethic, humility, skill and confidence to compare with the all-conquering, World Cup-winning 2003 side. Much of this is down to their coach, former burger-flipper and PE teacher, Stuart Lancaster. But how, with seemingly little relevant experience, has he turned the team around? Part biography, part examination of leadership, this book pulls apart the England rugby machine and looks at how it's been put together. Filled with interviews from the leading protagonists, players and coaches, and based on unprecedented access to Lancaster's methods, it shows how the vision, personality and leadership skills of one man can turn a team into world beaters.
