Inhaltsangabe

Alun Carter experienced the highs and lows of working with the Wales national rugby squad throughout his 12 years as the team’s head analyst. During this time, he saw a number of high-profile coaches come and go, and here he delivers a brutally honest account of what it was like to work with each of them. From the inspirational successes of the Graham Henry and Mike Ruddock eras to the disappointments and failures of the Steve Hansen and Gareth Jenkins regimes, the reader is given an insider’s version of what really went on. Carter does not shy away from controversy, and he pulls no punches in his assessment of the infamous rift between Graham Henry and Sir Clive Woodward that threatened to destroy the current head coach of the All Blacks, the underhand machinations that led to Mike Ruddock losing his job, and the negative impact of the Welsh Rugby Union principals on the running of the national squad. The former analyst also provides an informed appraisal of the remarkable 2005 and 2008 Grand Slam victories. This warts-and-all account of more than a decade of Welsh rugby is packed with revelations, exclusive contributions, and untold stories that will intrigue and delight all fans of the sport.
