Rainbow WarriorFrancois Pienaar, Edward GriffithsTaschenbuchAnd I did play on. It was only when my vision began to blur deep inside the second half that I realised it would be impossible for me to remain on the field. It had long since been irresponsible, but now I was being bloody minded. The 1995 Rugby Union World Cup in South Africa was a uniquely resonant sporting spectacle which thrilled T V millions across the world-that the battling Springboks should triumph on behalf of the fledgling < I> Rainbow Nation was pure Disney. But the stories behind the public drama were anything but fit for a family audience, as Springbok's captain Francois Pienaar reveals in his autobiography < I> Rainbow Warrior. If you were in any doubt that professional sport, and rugby in particular, was a hard, sometimes vicious business, where team pride often sits uneasily with individual ambition, and money talks loudest of all, then this controversial book will set you straight. From his rugby education fighting for the honour of Transvaal-both on and off the pitch-through the glory years captaining an all-conquering Springboks side as they stormed the national stage after decades in the wilderness, to his self-imposed exile in the English game with Saracens, < I> Rainbow Warrior is Pienaar's largely unsentimental reflection on an extraordinary career. As the Union game continues to struggle with the challenges of professionalism-in all its forms-Pienaar's is a highly critical voice. He wastes no time in pinpointing the failings of the game's ruling bodies and argues that both for the Springboks and the game in general, the 1999 World Cup failed to effectively build on the momentum generated by the 1995 event. But at the heart of this book is Pienaar's passion for the competitive game and for winning-with the emphasis firmly placed on the latter. -< I> Alex Hankin |

' We would question everything, change anything and leave no stone unturned, ' he writes. W I N N I N G! will talk about the team's journey of innovation and discovery and will reveal exactly how it happened, the fundamentals of their success and how these principles can be applied to any human endeavour.

' Bringing his business management skills to the game, Woodward simplified the entire approach to the structure of the team and created new management systems both on and off the pitch. In an anecdotal style, Clive Woodward entertains and informs while he describes the thrilling build-up to England's World Cup triumph. |

El Clasico: Barcelona v Real Madrid: Football's Greatest RivalryRichard FitzpatrickAudible HörbuchBarcelona and Real Madrid: two of the most powerful and popular clubs in world football, and one of the world's most bitter sporting rivalries. Going far beyond the boundaries of just sport alone, this is a rivalry at the heart of Spanish life, taking in politics and culture and splitting a country in two. El Clasico gets to the heart of that rivalry, investigating the intrigue, the larger-than-life characters, the key flashpoints and their consequences. From civil war bloodshed to 40 years of fascism and links with General Franco, the clubs' shared history is the stuff of a Robert Harris novel and includes: murdered presidents from both clubs, player kidnappings, acts of hooliganism - and that's before you start thinking of the volatile football matches themselves. The book contains numerous interviews with key figures such as Lus Figo and Hristo Stoichkov (two of the main hate figures from both clubs), Joan Laporta ( Barcelona's most successful president and, having entered politics, Catalonian separatism's poster boy) and various ex-players, ex-managers, agents, referees, hooligans, editors, historians, sociologists, filmmakers, novelists, photographers, T V presenters and celebrity fans. The two clubs are packed with international superstar players - including the world's two best players in Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo - and 10 of the starting 11 players from Spain's 2010 World Cup final victory play with either Barcelona or Real Madrid. This is a story with resonance around the sporting world, with many instantly recognisable figuresto an international audience such as Jose Mourinho. But it is also a tale of a country divided by a bitter rivalry. |

Beware of the Dog: Rugby's Hard Man Reveals AllBrian MooreAudible HörbuchWinner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award, this is a scorching and deeply personal autobiography that lifts the lid on the life and character of one of English rugby's most successful players. Brian Moore, or ' Pitbull' as he came to be known during nearly a decade at the heart of the England rugby team's pack, established himself as one of the game's original hard men at a time when rugby was still an amateur sport. Since his retirement, he has earned a reputation as an equally uncompromising commentator, never afraid to tell it as he sees it and lash out at the money men and professionals that have made rugby into such a different beast. Yet, for all his bullishness on and off the pitch, there also appears a more unconventional, complicated side to the man. A solicitor by trade, Moore's love of fine wine, career experience as a manicurist, and preference for reading Shakespeare in the dressing room before games, mark him out as anything but the stereotypical rugby player. In Beware of the Dog Moore lays open, with astounding frankness, the shocking events, both personal and professional, that have gone towards shaping him over the years. Presenting an unparalleled insight into the mind of one of British rugby's greatest players and characters, Beware of the Dog is a uniquely engaging and upfront sporting memoir. |
My Life As A HookerSteven GaugeTaschenbuchSteven Gauge's response to an impending midlife crisis didn't involve piercings, tattoos or leather trousers - instead, he decided to take up rugby, and made a number of important discoveries. First, that in this ultimate contact sport, class divisions melt away in the presence of rugby's own eternal divide: the Forwards and the Backs. Secondly, though biting is generally frowned upon, it does occasionally take place and can be discouraged by applying Deep Heat to the ears. And finally, turning up on time with your kit is far more important than knowing what to do with the ball if it ever reaches you. By the end of his first few seasons, Steven had cracked his nose and various other parts of his anatomy - but he had cracked the game too, and found a place in the club as Captain of the Fourths. |
