Description: An excellent read - Rugby World Rob Andrew is one of the key figures in modern rugby history: an outstanding international who won three Grand Slams with England and toured twice with the British and Irish Lions he also played a central role in the game's professional revolution with his trailblazing work at Newcastle. During a long spell on Tyneside he led the team to a Premiership title at the first opportunity brought European action to the north - east and gave the young Jonny Wilkinson his break in big - time union by fast - tracking him into the side straight out of school. What happened off the field was equally eventful. Rob produced The Andrew Report - the most radical of blueprints for the future of English rugby - and then over the course of a decade as one of Twickenham's top administrators found himself grappling with the extreme challenges of running a game repeatedly blown off course by the winds of change. He did not merely have a ringside seat as one of the world's major sports went through its greatest upheaval in a century: more often than not he was in the ring itself.
