Inspired by Martin Johnson's leadership and Jonny Wilkinson's boot,and masterminded by Clive Woodward, England were always going to be the team to beat.South Africa,Samoa, Wales,France and Australia all threatened to upset the favourites but this was a battle-hardened, resilient and totally professional England team that never lost confidence in their own ability.
'Sweet Chariot' is the complete record of an unforgettable tournament,written by many of the game's leading writers and broadcasters and illustrated by a team of top sports photographers.
This is the perfect souvenir of Rugby World Cup 2003,a book which will rekindle memories for the millions of fans who followed the matches on radio and television and the thousands who travelled to Australia to watch the drama unfold.
