About this listen

'I want absolutely nothing to do with this book.' – Owen Farrell

THREE RUGBY MEGASTARS.

ONE EPIC BOOK.

Welcome to the wild world of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.

They say what goes on tour stays on tour…but not this time.

Dive headfirst into the banter, bruises and brilliance of rugby with the team behind The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast. Packed with shenanigans, laugh-out-loud stories and a little chaos, this book offered a behind-the-scenes pass to the lives, laughs and legendary matches of three rugby megastars – on and off the pitch.

'There's rugby, laughter and, of course, more of me' – JAMES HASKELL

'The lawyers are once again on standby' – ALEX PAYNE

'I have no idea how this book deal was signed, but in the spirit of GBR -"Once in, all in"' – MIKE TINDALL

Among the key questions answered are:

  • What happened when Mike took their shambles of a podcast inside the walls of Windsor Castle to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal?
  • How did James end up nearly killing himself on the way to the DJ set, find himself forced to save Payno from Tins and get confronted by irate fan?
  • Why did Alex's broadcasting career sink to such depressing depths? And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert – it won't.)

In this epically no-holds-barred book, all three of them go behind the scenes of the hugely successful podcast, pulling back the curtain to reveal their most outrageous antics on tour – the ups, the downs and the sideways – and leaving no story untold.

All is unleashed.

Acerbic Anecdotes

I had an idea that Elizabeth the Queen Mother may have been a domineering and controlling personality after reading Marion Crawford's book - The Little Princesses and this effort by Lady Colin Campbell has now left me in no doubt at all.

The descriptive word pictures came repeatedly like bombs during the blitzkrieg and at times made me gasp out loud with shock at their downright nastiness.

Interspersed with a timeline of historical facts and much aristo/Royal name dropping, the narrative unfolded, each chapter leaving me with a sense of déjà vu that I had read this already.

When we got up to the Roddy Llewellyn and PM era it became apparent to me that this must have been a first hand glimpse and the underlying cause of the author's vitriolic attacks and character assassination of 'Cookie'.

I can't believe Lady C did not end up in a court of law because she must have just stopped short of finishing with the words SUE ME as the lid was nailed on the Royal coffin. I guess that too says something about the veracity of this grubby bit of work.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
