John Mitchell's rugby coaching career spans many years, several teams and various countries. He was assistant to Clive Woodward, England's World Cup-winning coach, as one of the pioneers of the professional era in rugby, he coached the All Blacks and the Chiefs in New Zealand, as well as the Western Force in Australia and the Lions in South Africa.

But while he is indisputably one of the most experienced and inspirational coaches on the circuit, he has arguably also been one of the most controversial, with several of his stints in top jobs ending badly. Although he made a success of all his tenures, he has also often challenged the structures and the powers-that-be, resulting in several premature departures. This book reveals why, and also why Mitchell has successfully defended every disciplinary hearing he has been subjected to.

Mitchell sets out the reasons for his successes as well as his failures, in a book that is not only entertaining, gripping and revealing, but, like the man himself, honest, forthright and controversial.
