Just picked this up, Killing Pythagoras by Marcos Chicot

The killings, each more baffling and unpredictable than the last, gradually unveil the workings of a dark and powerful mind, more formidable than that of Pythagoras himself.

............. well there we have it........
A "dark and powerful mind".
We'd better not let him read that Kofi.
Gooner is hard enough to listen to as he is

Over the summer I looked for some decent rugby based books but couldn't find much at all apart from biographies and stories of various international tours.

Anyone know of a Rugby Union equivalent to 'This Sporting Life'?

Just read 'No Borders - Playing Rugby for Ireland' by Tom English.

It was good enough.

No, but there are for younger readers.

The Rugby Zombie series by Dan Anthony

Three boys go into the woods in south Wales one night. They meet 15 zombies, all wearing Welsh rugby tops. But these are not zombies bent on killing: they need help. And the three boys deliver. These books are funny, slightly scary and full of feeling. There are three books in the series: The Rugby Zombies, Number Two and The Last International.

The Rugby Spirit series by Gerard Siggins

Eoin begins attending a Dublin school that is obsessed with rugby, although he has never played it. Before long he becomes obsessed with the game thanks to the influence of a forgotten family link to the game and the ghost of a former player who helps him develop his skills. Rugby Spirit is the first in a series of three (so far). The other two titles are Rugby Warrior and Rugby Rebel.

I got this for Christmas but haven't started it yet.


I've been on a massive Brandon Sanderson binge recently. Started with the Mistborn books but have also read his Reckoners series and am working my way through his others. Some really great fantasy writing, with characters you can invest in.

The New Breed - Irish Rugby's Professional Era by Patrick McCarry.

Flits about a bit but a few good interviews in there.

Twelve Feet Tall by Tony Ward.

I don't know how good he was but he seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

If you want a chip-on-shoulder book, get Eddie O'Sullivan's autobiography. Christ in heaven. It literally ends with a series of quotes from prominent players and coaches saying he was class.
