Includes the full story of England's 2007 World Cup campaign and Lawrence's thoughts on the future of English rugby.
As a Premiership, World Cup and Grand Slam winner, no one better embodies the charisma and the colour of English rugby s greatest era than Lawrence Dallaglio. He has some story to tell, not just of the formidable exploits on the field but an extraordinary life off it. His only sister, Francesca, was the youngest to perish in the Marchioness disaster and her death at 19 remains the great sadness of his life.
In addition to this and his much-talked about England exploits, he also led his club Wasps to the summit of European rugby, winning two Heineken Cups and three consecutive English Premiership titles. Full of drama, controversy and great sadness, Lawrence Dallaglio s story the last of the great World Cup heroes is the one every rugby fan has been waiting to read.
