The title takes readers into rugby's inner sanctum, where politicking and hidden agendas sometimes supersede the best interests of the sport, and relates the incredible highs and desperate lows of being part of the Springbok set-up. Administrative and political interference, press and public criticism, player injuries and personal sacrifices are all part and parcel of a Springbok coach's life, and White covers all these subjects in his riveting, controversial, sometimes amusing and often unbelievable story. In this edition, White reflects on the World Cup campaign in more detail, he talks about his life since then, and he comments on the current situation in South African rugby.
