In this biography, Monty reveals for the first time how he felt when he was booed by Springbok fans at Loftus, and when he saw two Springbok fans urinating against his image on the Bok team bus. He explains why he wasn’t prepared to play in a trial match for Bok coach Rudolf Straeuli in 2002, the story behind his six-month suspension in Wales, 2003, and why he came back to South Africa. He speaks about his role in winning the Tri-Nations and of how Victor Matfield wanted Jake White to be fired in 2006.

He discloses the reasons he was furious with Dick Muir and Bryan Habana after the Sharks lost the 2007 Super 14 final and why he has no respect for Bok legend Naas Botha. Also covered in the book are recollections of how he kicked with torn knee ligaments in the 2007 World Cup final, risking permanent damage, and how he nearly retired from Test rugby in 2007 after reading Jake White’s book. Finally, he explains why he left Perpignan in 2008.
