In the 1970s Welsh rugby was in a golden era...but suddenly the rich seam dried up. After enduring ignominious defeats and record losses, the team looked to New Zealand and brought in Graham Henry to turn their fortunes around. In 12 months, he transformed the team into championship contenders. This text is the story of that transformation. Williams' insider's view charts the rebuilding of Welsh pride, while also discussing the state of rugby union in the Northern Hemisphere as the European nations strive to fight the dominance of New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
