Description:

In search of glory

Synopsis:

The recent 3-0 series whitewash over New Zealand was a glorious end to the Great Britain era. With Tony Smith's team competing as England from 2008, this is an ideal moment to reflect on the recent history of the national side, and to consider what the future holds. Starting with the watershed tour of the 1982 Australians, when GB were trounced by a truly outstanding side, this book relives the past 25 years of Great Britain rugby league, a period when the team have often faced adversity but have come back strongly. It gives the story both on and off the pitch, and features the recollections of some of the players and coaches involved. It concludes with a look ahead to the Rugby League World Cup of 2008 and the future of the national side under the England banner.
