14 years since his autobiography, Size Doesn't Matter, English rugby's most decorated flanker, Neil Back, returns with a tale of triumphs, heartaches, and broken promises. From his anti-hero role as "The Hand of Back" in Leicester Tigers' European Cup triumph over Munster, to Grand Slam glory and the 2003 World Cup with England, Neil is never far from the story. The Death of Rugby dissects the Lions' disastrous 2005 tour of New Zealand, the ousting of his mentor Dean Richards from Leicester Tigers, and Neil's three years in charge of Leeds, before being recruited by The Rugby Football Club, and why Neil and his colleagues had to walk away, despite an unbeaten season, and league, and cup double. Neil deals with the adjustment from professional sportsman into family and regular working life, despite a critical illness in 2013, which has shaped his perspective on life.
Neil Back’s latest book ‘The Death of Rugby’ tells many different stories, from winning the Rugby World Cup in 2003, the unsuccessful British & Irish Lions tour in 2005, Neil’s time at Leicester Tigers, his coaching career to making the adjustment from having been a professional rugby player and coach to everyday working life.Great anecdotes and memories throughout the book, keeping the reader engaged.A must-read for all rugby fans and enthusiasts!I thoroughly enjoyed the read!!
