(More customer reviews)Living in America, where we lack any media coverage of national and international rugby, this book was a great personal story of a Welsh rugby superstar, as well as an interesting way to become familiar with the culture of international rugby. The story is amusing and well told, with great commentary on the sport and what it means to play it. I highly reccomend it to ruggers everywhere.

Rupert Moon's tale has more to it than tries and tackles. He came from a family who were passionate about the game of rugby union, and their involvement with the local club at Walsall and its players fired the imagination of a gangly, cumbersome kid. His is a story of belonging and of finding a place where rugby was the very lifeblood of the community. It is also the story of a player whose burgeoning celebrity status threatened to dwarf his many achievements on the fields of play. Away from the mud and glory, Rupert explores the side of rugby the fans seldom see. Alongside a trail of humorous anecdotes, he recalls the drinking sprees, tours, endless training, backstabbing, media exploitation, professionalism, club politics, coaches, comebacks, and enduring friendships. This is the story of a man who took his rugby seriously without ever taking himself so.
