About this listen

 SHORTLISTED FOR THE SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Crammed full of funny stories, below-the-belt banter and amusing observations, it’s gold' Rugby World

Once described as rugby’s answer to Ant & Dec, David Flatman and Mark Durden-Smith are the oddest of odd couples. Now this hugely popular rugby broadcasting double act have turned to dissecting and celebrating rugby union in book form. And, as you’d expect, it’s a brilliant combination of in-depth knowledge and hilarious stories.

Flats and Durders Offload covers every facet of the game, from surviving the front row, what it takes to be a leader, referees both good and bad, mind games, tournaments and, of course, what really happens on a rugby tour. They talk about the highs, including Flats not missing a tackle in his 90-second Six Nations appearance, and the lows, including Flats not making a tackle in his 90-second Six Nations appearance.

Familiar to millions of fans through their television work, they provide fascinating and entertaining insight into the sport they love. They reveal the hardest players, the greatest characters and the intimate secrets of the front row. They address key issues facing the sport, such as injury, retirement and the future of the game. Nothing is off limits and no quarter is given – to anyone.

With insightful analysis, unforgettable stories and the occasional food reference, Flats and Durders Offload is an unmissable read for all rugby fans.

I throughly enjoyed listening to Flats and Durders basically chatting about rugby and anything else.
I laughed a lot, at all the amusing stories and rambles, Highlights being "The Joburg3" and "Harry Secombe's Y fronts"
Its not all laughs, there is some great incite into being a pro rugby player, rugby and sometimes just life in general.
Flats and Durders have great chemistry and if you've enjoyed watching them on the TV, then you'll enjoy this book.
I almost feel guilty I only paid £3 for it

Two pals enjoying a laugh and sharing it with the listeners. Always funny and often insightful it’s been a lot of fun listening to Flats and Durders. If you don’t laugh out loud it says more about you than them

Very funny

Do not listen to this on a plane. Laughing out loud like a school boy while travelling alone on a flight to Malaga drew some disconcerting looks from crew and passengers alike. When I laughed so much one of my ear pods fell out and rolled under the seat of the lady in front of me did not go down well either.

Utter utter rambling nonsense - fantastic
