Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wanted to know what really happens when teams go on tour? Drawing on his extensive experience of touring, former international and acclaimed pundit Brian Moore tells you all you need ever know, with this in-depth but light-hearted exposé, covering every level of the sport, from junior club rugby right up to the British Lions. With stories of bikini-clad forwards and Moore's own escapades, many of rugby's best-known names of recent years are featured, and no element of life on tour is left untouched. As they go, readers will learn how to survive the worst room-mates in the world, how to cope with the long hours of travel, and how to get the best room in the hotel. They will learn how the professionals do it - or at least used to - and how their would-be amateur counterparts try to do it; both having a blast along the way. Anyone who has ever gone away with a group of mates - male or female, sporting or not - will recognise similar situations and immediately identify with the book. Reading it will bring back their own memorable moments of touring or, if not, make them want to go on their first trip. To help readers get the best out of any tour, Moore provides top tips on how best to organise one, including tour rules, courts, songs and games. Along with the author's Top XV tourists of all time, this book is a definitive insight into touring in all its fun and glory.

Book excerpt: The 1967 All Blacks is a social history of the great 1967 All Blacks tour and what became of the players. In 1967 the All Black rugby team enjoyed an extraordinarily eventful northern hemisphere tour. It involved encounters with lsquo;Flower Childrenrsquo; and seeing a fatal gun-fight in San Francisco, the cancellation of the Irish games after a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, an opposition player paralysed for life, and Colin, now Sir Colin, Meads sent off for violent play. The 1967 team is remembered today as enormously significant in transforming the national style of rugby from a defensive to an attacking focus, acting as a bridge between the past and the game played today. Thus men from an essentially conservative background paradoxically produced a radical change that seems entirely in keeping with our image of the lsquo;60s as a period of radical change. This well-illustrated book situates the tour within that context, drawing on interviews with surviving team members, diaries, contemporary reports, etc.

Book excerpt: The book covers the most torrid and turbulent tour to Australia and New Zealand ever undertaken by the Rugby League.
