Description

Rugby is a sport that demands mental resilience and resistance to pain. It explores character, beyond a capacity to endure punishment. In "The Hurt", Dylan Hartley, one of England's most successful captains, tells a story of hard men and harsh truths. He describes the sport's increasing demand on players and the toll it takes on their mental health, as well as the untimely injury that shattered his dreams of leading England in the 2019 World Cup. This is rugby in the raw, a unique insight into the price of sporting obsession.
