Voices from the Back of the Bus provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at international rugby at the height of a golden period. Recounted with genuine warmth and much humour, over a hundred players recall the scrapes, the games, the laughs, the glory and the gritty reality of the pre-professional game.

If all sports are really about war, then rugby is a heart-thumping epic of bayonet charges and hand-to-hand fighting. In Memoirs of a Rugby-Playing Man, bestselling author Jay Atkinson describes his thirty-five year odyssey in the sport-from his rough and rowdy days at the University of Florida, through the intrigue of various foreign tours, club championships, and all star selections, up to his current stint with the freewheeling Vandals Rugby Club out of Los Angeles. Jay has played in more than 500 matches, for which he's suffered three broken ribs, a detached retina, a fractured cheekbone and orbital bone, four deadened teeth, and a dislocated ankle. Written in the style of Siegried Sassoon's Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, Atkinson's book explains why it was all worth it--the sum total of his violent adventures, and the valuable insights he has gained from them.

You can always retake a class, but you can never relive a great party. This was our mantra as a rugby team at The University of Alabama. We treated every day as a party and we didn't care what anyone thought. Flaming Assholes is a raunchy recount of the day-to-day activities that took place from the year 2001 to 2004. The book depicts how our team made the USA Today, the run-in's with local and not-so-local police, and why the City of Tuscaloosa changed codes because of us. The book also delves into the destruction of property; stolen vehicles; and broken hearts, spirits, and faces. Flaming Assholes contains nothing but debauchery, immoral decisions and actions, and really nothing having to do with the sport of rugby. Our rugby team was full of degenerates looking for ways to act as such. Every day was an adventure and this book is a recollection of the most memorable, yet lewd, stories about this team. Put your humility and dignity aside -- we didn't have any. Thus, the reader shouldn't either. If you're easily offended, this book is probably not for you. If you are not one for caustic or abrasive language, go read something else. Seriously.

In RUGBY TALES, Lawrence Dallaglio recalls with affection and razor-sharp humour, the behind-the-scenes stories that have previously only been shared within the world of international rugby, together with some classics from his rugby-playing colleagues and mates. There's the one about the 2003 World Cup winner who curtseyed to the queen and another featuring the rugby legend who was affronted by the suggestion that he had been out on the town until 3 a.m. days before a crucial match. 'Don't you look at me,' he cried indignantly, 'I got in at six.' Featuring big games, bigger personalities, quick-fire banter and the odd pint or two, these are the best of the best from the legends of the dressing room, pitch and pub.

We had just beaten a few of the top men's rugby football clubs in the East that excelled in both sevens and fifteens. This included - Mystic River, Beacon Hill, the Washington Exiles and two good college teams - Brown University and Coast Guard Academy. As I prepared for the championship final against another very good men's club - the Hartford Wanderers RFC - I lay down on the sidelines and stretched my sore leg muscles. My mind drifted and I couldn't help but remember the previous three consecutive finals our school (URI) had participated in. We had beaten some excellent teams each year to advance to the Harvard Business School Sevens finals, but we had lost each close championship match. This rugby sevens tournament was the most popular sevens tournament in the East and it consisted of rugby clubs - men's and college teams from all over and the U.S. - winner takes all!

Roars from the Back of the Bus is an absorbing, amusing and at times moving collection of tales that give a rare insight into the camaraderie that exists between players at the top of their game, showing that relationships forged through experiences on a Lions tour last a lifetime. From the first Tour in 1888, it showcases characters with immense personality who fought together in wars or on rugby pitches in foreign lands, and who shared a bond developed through touring as representatives of the home nations. Despite the changes to the game after the advent of professionalism, the experiences of Jamie Heaslip, Brian O’Driscoll and Joe Worsley are still similar in some ways to those of earlier intrepid tourists like Blair Mayne, Lewis Jones, Sir Carl Aarvold or David Rollo. Containing defining memories and private insights from across the tours and the decades, Roars from the Back of the Bus shows that the Lions ethos remains strong at the heart of every team.
