The Good, the Bad & the Rugby - Unleashed

By Alex Payne, James Haskell, Mike Tindall

The long-awaited book from rugby stars Alex Payne, James Haskell and Mike Tindall

Rugby megastars James Haskell, Mike Tindall and Alex Payne get together to discuss the highs and lows of their podcast, friendship and rugby.

Among the key questions answered:

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 Haskell end up nearly killing himself on the way to a DJ set, find himself forced to save Payno from Tins and get confronted by irate fans?

How did Alex's broadcasting career fall to such depressing depths? And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert - it won't.)

In one, no-holds-barred book, they will go behind the scenes of the hugely successful podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby to pull back the curtain on some of their most outrageous antics on tour - the ups, the downs and the sideways - and leave no story untold. All will be unleashed.
