    As a non-Reds fan I absolutely loved John Eales book.

    Jonah Lomu's book is a very good read too

    Who hasn't had the "The Beginning" book autographed by Mitch & Sharpe? I got them to sign their mugshots on the cover.

    I thought the thread was about good rugby books so that's all I put - I shall go home tonight and list all of the books I have.

    .....must retrieve by David Campese book from my dad - that was also a good read when I read it 7 or 8 years ago....

    Undercover Prop by Dan Crowely is a beaut

    and a little red book of rugby trivia callec Up & Unders by Bill Beaumont is also great on tour and I'll have my copy on the next tour for anyone to flick through.

    The first book in the series comes out in 3 weeks. I'll keep you posted on where anyone who wants a copy can get one. There's a further 7 books in the series that are also ready to come out after the initial release of the first one.

    I'll keep an eye out - I have an eight year old with no interest in playing the game, but he indulges me by watching from time to time.. Perhaps he'll pick up a thing or two. COngrats on getting published

    Maybe you could send a few copies to each of the local rugby clubs. From some of the posts that have been happening on this site about club rugby, they could use the advice that "there is more to the game than winning or losing"!

    Would love to read more about Bootsie so let us know where to get a copy. I've got a 9 year old veteran, playing since under 6s and now in under 10s, so will relate to a few of the disasters!

    Best book: Bill McLaren- Rugby's great heroes & entertainers

    As with his commentary, a very unbiased & insightful look into our great game's legends

    I've been trying to work out who the publisher is on the bottom line, but the letters are too small.

    Looks like www.vividpublishing.com.au/bootsie8

    But that doesn't work.
    Maybe not ready yet.
