The Rugby World Cup: it's the scrum of the earth, the biggest, the best and the most prestigious rugby union tournament in the world. It also throws up some of sport's most enduring and exciting rivalries, as well as the age-old culture clash of northern versus southern hemisphere. But do you know your All Blacks from your also-rans? Your hooker from your haka? Or do you think a 99 goes in an ice cream? Never Mind the Drop Goal is the ultimate collection of Rugby World Cup teasers. Test yourself and your fellow fans individually or as a team, in the pub, in front of the TV, or en route to a match. Some questions are as tough as a touchline kick for goal, others as straightforward as a penalty in front of the posts. First question: are you up to the challenge?

An honest, end-of-career autobiography from widely adored Harlequins and England rugby star Danny Care They say everything happens for a reason, and I think my life is proof of that. There have been a series of moments, some of them tough setbacks, that have proved over time to be pivotal to the person – and player – I am today. There was the time when my dreams of a football career came to an abrupt end but opened the door for rugby in my life; the ill-judged sledging outing that may have cost me the opportunity to go on a Lions tour; the times when my name made the headlines for the wrong reasons; the choice I made to miss an England tour, which led to meeting the love of my life on a party island halfway across the world; and the devastating moment when Eddie Jones dropped me from the England squad and I thought my international career was over. I sometimes wondered if it was meant to be but I kept on smiling and I worked hard as I kept my focus on playing the game that I love, that I owe everything to. And now, a little older and a little wiser – and with over 100 England caps, three Six Nations championships and two Premiership titles to my name – I want to tell you my story. The highs and lows, the good and the bad and everything in between.
