'Simply the best book on rugby ever written,' Guardian Through intimate interviews the world's greatest players of recent years, Donald McRae examines how rugby is played and revered in different countries. In this updated edition of his classic book, we not only hear from legends of the past, such as Sean Fitzpatrick, Francois Pienaar and Lawrence Dallaglio, but also from the current crop of superstars. As well as gaining a compelling insight into the game from its biggest stars, there are plenty of surprises, including the revelation from Dan Carter that he enjoys dressing up as a superhero and the fact that Manu Tuilagi's brother enjoys a very different type of dressing up. While the sport is always changing and moving on, its spirit remains as strong as ever. 'A work that stands head and shoulders above any rival,' Sunday Times.
