Rugby club tours - rule number one WHAT GOES ON TOUR, STAYS ON TOUR Yet again in the sequel to Taking it up the Blindside, Jon Prichard, former captain of the Bangkok British Rugby Club breaks all the rules. Cat-out-of-the-bag and spilling-the-beans on what really happens on rugby tours ain't the half of this book's mischief! If you have only watched rugby from the sidelines or indeed matches broadcast on TV and marvelled at the speed, agility, handling skills and utter respect paid to the referee and you've thought ...what nice gentlemen these sportsmen are... read this book to get another perspective. Back Up The Blindside is another raunchy, plain speaking, non-PC set of tales, some of which are frankly almost unprintable but are based on real life experiences. Whilst the majority of tales relate to playing rugby in Bangkok and touring in SE Asia there are anecdotal chapters from the past in Jon's younger years in the UK and even one about a shocking golf match!

What goes on tour, stays on tour…UNTIL NOW! All, and I do mean all, rugby players the world over are from the same mould. They are friendly, convivial, generally well mannered, muscular, motivated, heavy drinkers with a high testosterone level, but above all trustworthy...Until now. This treacherous author has let the pussy out of the bag and touring is no longer a simple visa permit from the wife. From the author, Jon Prichard: "I joined the British Club of Bangkok and immersed myself if their rugby team becoming captain for a few years and then as a playing and moaning Chairman. The BC and an Asian based Rhino’s RFC have taken me on innumerable rugby tours throughout Asia and beyond and in late 2017 I decided to make some written tales of those adventures. The tales are true and risqué in every way and some are seriously adult reading. There are also tales of simple experiences of living and working in Asia, but most have a rugby flavour."

Downing tools in the allotment where they have toiled for the last six years, Valerie and her husband Wolfram decide to cycle to Germany to visit his mother. Before they leave, Val's guide the Aztec Priest appears among the bean rows and tells her this will be a Vision Quest - and so it turns out to be, not least due to their involvement in Channel 4's 'Real Holiday Show'. In spite of the dangers they encounter on this trip they develop an appetite for foreign parts and embark on many subsequent cycling adventures, all of which turn out more or less disastrously. Travel with them as they ride through France, Italy and their beloved Black Forest - the stoic Val shouting instructions from behind as the hapless blind Wolf does his best to avoid hitting anything. Share their horrors and delights at the larger-than-life characters they meet abroad and the comradeship of their Asian neighbours on the allotments. A heartwarming and spiritual tale of two lives inextricably intertwined - until Fate intervened.
