About this title

Synopsis

'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 -"One 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.

About the Author

The Good, The Bad and The Rugby is the highly anticipated book from noted broadcaster Alex Payne (the good), England legends James Haskell (the bad) and Mike Tindall (the rugby).

Alex Payne is an experienced rugby broadcaster and a live event host. He began his television career as a presenter on the 'Rugby Club'. He then travelled to New Zealand as the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour reporter.

James Haskell, author of bestselling books What a Flanker and Ruck Me, is one of the UK's most well-known rugby players. Having progressed through all levels of rugby, Haskell retired in 2019 with 77 England caps.

Mike Tindall began playing rugby at a young age. Today he is widely considered to be one of the finest players to ever put on an England shirt. Now an MBE, he’s a player who has won almost every trophy the game has to offer.

Together they host the weekly podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.
