In May 2011, Leinster won the most remarkable Heineken Cup title in rugby history - coming from 22 points down at half-time in the final in Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium to defeat Northampton, and capture Europe’s premier rugby trophy for the second time in three years.
On their way, Leinster had exited a ‘Pool of Death’, and they defeated in the quarter-final and semi-final, Leicester and Toulouse, two of the greatest clubs in the history of European club rugby.
Leo Cullen is the man who led Leinster to that historic triumph.
He is also the only Irishman to lift the Heineken Cup twice - having captained Leinster to their Heineken Cup success in 2009, when they defeated his former club, Leicester in the final at Murrayfield!
Cullen one of a band of only four men who have had that honour of twice lifting the most prestigious trophy in European rugby, joining Martin Johnson, Lawrence Dallaglio, and Fabien Pelous in a special grouping of outstanding captains.
Capped 33 times by Ireland, Cullen is a born leader. He has had the honour of leading his country three times, including during the 2011 World Cup finals in New Zealand.
Now he has written his story in the form of an intimate diary of Leinster’s 2010-11 winning season.
From his fight to save his own career from a threatening shoulder injury, to the departure of the famed Australian Michael Cheika and the arrival of Kiwi Joe Schmidt as Leinster’s new coach at the beginning of the amazing season (which commenced with four defeats), Cullen shows remarkable honesty and bravery in personally bringing readers through ‘A Captain’s Story’.
