Matthew Rees; Craig Muncey
Synopsis "Reasons 2 Smile - my Battles on and off the Rugby Field"
The autobiography of Cardiff Blues, Scarlets, Wales, Lions and Barbarians player Matthew Rees, the most-capped hooker ever for Wales. Lots of insight behind the scenes on his rugby career, but also revealing the full stories behind finding out who his father was at 20 and his battle with testicular cancer at the height of his career. Cardiff Blues, Scarlets, Wales, Lions and Barbarians player Matthew Rees, a key member of the Grand Slam teams at the 2008 and 2012 Six Nations, is the most-capped hooker of all time for the Wales national side and has captained both his region and his country. However, top-flight rugby is not all there is to Smiler's story. As well as offering behind-the-scenes insight into Welsh rugby at regional and international level, Matthew also opens up about some deeply personal issues. He talks frankly about dealing with the bombshell of finding out who his real father was at age 20, and the impact it had on his relationship with his family. He also reveals what he went through after discovering he had testicular cancer at the peak of his rugby career, and how the diagnosis and treatment affected him. This is not just another rugby biography. Matthew Rees' is an uplifting and dramatic story which even non-rugby fans will be inspired by. CONTENTS Acknowledgements Foreword (by Warren Gatland) 1.
