To play in the Rugby World Cup,let alone win it,is the dream of every rugby player across the planet.Those lucky enough to have done so embody everything that is good about sport - athleticism,focused determination and a strict work ethic.
Or maybe not,according to these tales. . . .
Instead,we have the one about the England player on all fours,being ridden around a dance floor by a champion jockey.
And the All Black who kidnapped a dog and stole a van after a big game.
Plus the Irish forward who won AUS $90,000 in a casino days before a quarter-final.
With razor-sharp wit,Lawrence Dallaglio takes the reader behind the scenes to see what happens on and off the pitch when the cameras are looking the other way.With the help of rugby greats such as Gavin Hastings,Jonathan Davies, Sean Fitzpatrick,Michael Lynaugh and Francois Pienaar,the stories chart the history of the tournament,from the old days of blood,sweat and beers to the professionalism and planning of the modern era.
Funny,frank and fully loaded with quick fire banter,these are the best of the best rugby tales from legends of the international scene.
Lawrence Dallaglio has been a Wasps player all his club career,signing in 1990 and becoming captain in 1995 for 12 years until his retirement in 2008.
