From the Publisher:

The ball is hoisted high into the air and for a second a calm hush envelops the stadium. Then it begins to fall and, down at ground level, a streak of blond catches the eye, careering down the pitch. By the time the ball comes to earth the blond has become a blur as Lewis Moody hurtles towards his target, propels himself into the air and launches himself suicidally at the ball and any opponent or team-mate who dares to impede his path.

Lewis Moody plays rugby as if each game is his last and Year of the Tiger - his diary of his 2004/05 season with Leicester, England and the British & Irish Lions - is written with the same energy and enthusiasm, not to mention a dose of utter insanity.

Brutally honest and at times hilariously funny, Year of the Tiger takes you inside the Leicester, England and Lions dressing rooms as Moody details a rollercoaster season of triumph and tragedy, on-field bust-ups and post-match beers, agonising injuries and mad jokes and pranks.

From getting knocked out by a Martin Johnson training ground punch to taking guitar lessons from Jonny Wilkinson on the Lions tour, Year of the Tiger is a unique and entertaining insight into the world of top class rugby and the life of one of Leicester and England's brightest rugby talents.
