"When
Twickenham Stadium opened in 1909 England had struggled for nearly twenty years
to be competitive on the international rugby field
Players
such as Adrian Stoop, Ronald Poulton and Dave Davies combined with a fresh style
of play to match their new home brought a change of
fortune which meant that the England team would barely loose a match from
then until the outbreak of the First World War
This
book traces their journey from the international wilderness
to the heights of their success"
