Interesting read. Insight in to the famous George, and a look in to behind the scenes in world rugby.
One sided view? Potentially, but offset by some memories penned by others.
Will pass on to the Brother in Law.

I quite liked George Gregan’s insight into some of the key games of his career and the contrast between being a rugby player in the late ’90s compared to today. In saying that, I’m still yet to read a sports autobiography that I’ve really loved—though that probably says more about me mostly reading athlete memoirs and not being a huge fan of the genre.
I did enjoy the anecdotes scattered throughout the book, especially the stories involving his teammates. I think I would’ve appreciated it even more if I’d known more of the players or watched them play at the time.
The book did drag a bit in places, particularly when it went into the negotiations with the Australian Rugby Union—which, honestly, I found pretty dull.
