Warren Gatland is one of the worlds most renowned and intriguing rugby coaches of the modern era, leading Wales to four Six Nations titles, three Grand Slams and two World Cup semi-finals and masterminding two history-making tours as Head Coach of the British and Irish Lions.

As he leaves his post as Head Coach of Wales at the end of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, Gatlands definitive autobiography provides a colourful and vivid chronicle of an extraordinary three decades at rugbys dynamic coal-face.

The personal journey has been rewarding and challenging in equal measure, spanning many of the sports most passionate heartlands such as New Zealand, Ireland, England and, of course, Wales.

Gatland reflects in characteristically forthright and intelligent fashion on a lifetime spent playing and coaching the sport which has been his passion since as a young boy he first picked up an oval ball on New Zealands North Island, dreaming of joining the ranks of the mighty All Blacks.

Along the way we encounter the greatest matches, players and rivalries the sport has to offer, get introduced to a stunning cast of unforgettable characters who grace the story with their humour and humanity, and emerge with a striking appreciation of what makes this outstanding rugby man tick.
