Ronan O'Gara: Unguarded - Softcover
Ronan O'Gara has been at the heart of Munster and Irish rugby for the past fifteen years. Now, as he comes to the end of a glittering playing career, it is time for him to reflect on those many successes and occasional failures with the straight-talking attitude that has become his trademark. Never one to shy away from the truth, the result is Ronan O'Gara: Unguarded. Ronan has never been afraid to speak his mind, his unflinching honesty made him the hardest critic of his own performances, as well as the most respected of team-mates and opponents. One of Ireland's greatest ever players lays out his forthright views on the game he loves and his career in rugby with club and country. Perfect gift for Ronan O'Gary Fans or even rugby fans.

Review:
"Compelling... You have to admire the stones it takes to set out his stall. But then, it's entirely in keeping with how he played." (Irish Times, Best Sports Books of the Year)
"Anyone interested in life coaching or self-awareness will be fascinated by O'Gara's revealing and unabashed self-analysis." (Irish Independent, Best Sports Books of the Year)
"Adroitly constructed... his reflections on his recently concluded playing career contain enough cordite to remind one of the searing honesty and single-mindedness that drove this individual to perfection. Few escape his wrath." (Irish Independent)
"A rollicking read... he speaks with naked emotion, raw candour, and even that rare commodity in sportsmen, forthrightness." (Sunday Independent)
"Revealing... Unguarded is a reflection on a playing career that saw him earn the respect of the rugby world and win almost all the game has to offer. Off the field, the Corkman was known for his phlegmatic pronouncements and this book is marked out by similar straight-talking." (Sunday Business Post)
