What a Flanker!

‘I am very excited to be able to finally put down on paper the stories that have kept me laughing 50 times a day for the entirety of my rugby career’

One of rugby’s most ferocious flankers and biggest characters, James Haskell has had an extraordinary, global experience of the game, having played for the Lions, Wasps, England and in both Australia and France. After seventeen years and with 77 international caps under his sizeable belt, he understandably has a s***load to say about rugby life – from pitch to pub and everywhere in between.

 

In What A Flanker!, Haskell delves deep into his sometimes-compromised memory-bank to reveal the dynamics and the day-to-day of our most gentlemanly game. Told with his trademark self-deprecating wit and candour, What A Flanker! sheds shockingly stark light on the touring, drinking, eating and often unconscionable antics of the professional rugby player.
