Blue Blood - The Bernard Jackman Autobiography

The inside story of Leinster in the Cheika years

Blue Blood has plenty of meat in it. They will see how Jackman was cut from the professional ranks for a year, yet recovered to play nine times for his country. Ultimately, though, the significance of the book may be in the service Jackman has done to professional players and their safety. It provides the governors of the game with the clearest insight yet into the time bomb they have in their hands with concussion.

Blue Blood tells two great stories:

'Blue Blood' is the story of one man's passionate 13-year fight to reach the highest level of the professional game of rugby union.
'Blue Blood', also, is the inside story of Leinster's five-years journey under Michael Cheika to become the No.1 team in European rugby.
