Loose Head

The unfiltered truth about being a rugby player - from the horsey''s mouth.

This book is not just about how I got back on my horse and went clippity-clop all the way to the World Cup final in Japan.

It''s the story of how a fat kid who had to live up to the nickname Psycho grew up to play (and party) for over a decade with rugby''s greatest pros.

From just about surviving the equivalent of 30 car crashes a game and crooning Adele for team spirit, to extensive field notes on the smell of the Scrum and the fine art of on-pitch relief. Then there''s rugby''s secret naked wrestling scene and how it was exposed.

In my world, you never know how the ball will bounce...
