A History of the English Rugby Team as told by the Men Involved
Behind the Rose by Stephen Jones and Nick Cain is a very good book detailing the history of the English Rugby team from 1871 to 2014. Based on the accounts of those who have the honour to have worn the Red Rose, it is an enjoyable journey through the highs and lows of nearly 150 years.While it is not a detailed examination of every match, tournament or incident involving England, it, nevertheless, is an interesting overview of the history of the English Rugby team.Overall, a very good book.
