Shortlisted for the Charles Tyrwhitt Rugby Book of the Year 2025
Go behind the scenes with the winners of the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup.
In January 2019, England's Red Roses became the first fully professional women's rugby team in the world - their abiding mission being to win back the Rugby World Cup. After their narrow defeat against New Zealand in 2017, the formidable squad developed a hugely successful game plan that earned them the longest winning streak in rugby union history.
Acclaimed sports journalist Jessica Hayden, who has had unprecedented access to the Red Roses during the writing of this book, goes behind the scenes to follow their challenges, heartbreaks and triumphs. Featuring interviews with all the major players, including Marlie Packer, Jess Breach, Emily Scarratt and many more, this is a truly inspirational story.
