by Sean O'Brien

'He's one of the best players I've ever played with. As a forward, I'd say he's the best.' Johnny Sexton

Seán O'Brien does not come from a traditional rugby background. He grew up on a farm in Tullow, far from the rugby hotbeds of Limerick and Cork or the fee-paying schools of Dublin. But as he made his way up through the ranks, it soon became clear that he was a very special player and a very special personality.

Now, Seán O'Brien tells the remarkable and unlikely story of his rise to the highest levels of world rugby, and of a decade of success with Leinster, Ireland and the British and Irish Lions.

Pat he did mention the incident in the dublin pub, if you are going to review a book make sure you have read it properly. The book was great

[Pat McCrann · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book follows in the long line of rugby autobiographies by Irish players in recent years. It offers little insight and simply highlights O’Brien’s lack of self-awareness. On one hand, he slags off soccer. On the other hand, he neglects to mention his behaviour in a Dublin pub at the end of his Leinster career.

[Phil Altimas · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great insight into the rugby life of a one of the games greats, an Irish international and Lion. Its great to hear how much he does for his junior club as well. A good read for any rugby nut
I did get lost when he when using the nicknames for the players but perhaps an Irish rugby nut would know them all
