Throughout a 16 year professional career in rugby union, Dylan pushed his body and mind right to the limits, and sometimes even a little beyond. His is a colourful story of scrapes with the authorities, and brushes with greatness as a leader of men and winner of trophies. He left his native New Zealand at the age of just 16, with a hunger and a drive that led to successful spells with first Worcester and then Northampton. His abrasive, unflinching style quickly led him to international rugby, where his hunger caught the eye of the inspirational, but famously tough taskmaster (and current England coach) Eddie Jones. Dylan retired aged 33 as a Grand Slam winning captain of England, and the country’s most capped hooker of all time.
