Summary
The Sunday Times best seller.
Brilliant, honest, combative - Eddie Jones is a gigantic yet enigmatic figure in world rugby and a true legend of the game.
In My Life and Rugby he tells his story for the first time, including the full inside story of England’s 2019 World Cup campaign.
Since taking over as head coach of England in 2015, Eddie Jones has orchestrated a complete revival of the national team. He has won the Six Nations Championship back-to-back, including England’s first Grand Slam in a generation and their first-ever whitewash of Australia in their own backyard, as well as taking them on their longest-ever winning streak, matching the world record held by the All Blacks.
Eddie Jones is one of the most experienced and decorated coaches in Rugby Union. His career has spanned four World Cups: from the 2003 final, working with South Africa when they won in 2007 and causing the greatest upset in the history of the game in 2015 when he masterminded the Japanese victory over South Africa. Most recently, he led England on their incredible run at the 2019 World Cup, culminating in a stunning victory against the All Blacks before falling to South Africa in the final.Learning from the extreme highs and lows of his own playing career – including the numerous successes playing for Randwick and New South Wales but also the painful disappointment of never playing for Australia – he shows what it takes to be the best in the world and how everything he has learned about the game, both on and off the pitch, has gone into plotting England’s route to the top of world rugby.
Written with Donald McRae, twice winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award and three-time Sports Feature Writer of the Year, My Life and Rugby is the story of one of the most compelling and singular figures in rugby. Told with unflinching honesty, this is the ultimate rugby book for all fans of the sport.

Great entertaining journey
Really enjoyed this book and love Eddie honest way of looking at the game love. Being South African it is interesting still how we disagree on certain things but overall very pleased and wish him all the best in the rest of his coaching career.
reason it is 4 and not 5 stars is I would have preferred him to have narrated it himself. No offense to the narrator at all but when you read the autobiography of a public figure such as Eddie who has such a recognisable voice it is a shame when it is not his voice you hear telling his story.
Either way well done mate 👍 great read.

After listening to this book I have a lot of respect for this small man. He has Accomplished a lot and does have a good rugby mind. Only one thing he is Englands Coach but I can over look that ! Top man

Fascinating insight into the mind of a marmite character
yes it seems to have some self PR and I'm sure some others can pick wholes up it seems to be mainly open and honest.
the rugby commentary sections break it up well.
really enjoyed it
