The Men in the Arena

by Peter Burns and Tom English

From 1997 to 2003 England and Australia battled for domination of the rugby world in one of the greatest rivalries the sport has ever known. The Men in the Arena delves to the very heart of both teams’ journey to the 2003 Rugby World Cup final, telling the story primarily in the words of the protagonists at the centre of the battle.
