Not so Grand!! - Rated
Alun Carter gives a real insiders view as to some of the more remarkable comings and goings on the episodes of Welsh rugby over the last 12 years. He does not pull many punches on his opinions of those who he feels have somewhat let the national team down during his spell as an analyst. He is very critical of the likes of Steve Hansen, Scott Johnson, Gareth Jenkins and Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas whilst he sings the praises of Graham Henry, Mike Ruddock and Clive Griffiths.

Carter gives a damning indictment on the player power that ultimately led to the resignation of a Grand Slam winning coach in Ruddock and tells of how some players were not willing to undertake tasks that were being asked of them by coaches who had a proven track record at domestic level.

Welsh rugby has seen some explosive episodes in the last few years and Carter tells it as he has seen it from the inside. This is a book that may not go down too well with some within the rugby hierarchy of Wales but for the genuine fan of the Welsh national team who has been dismayed with the events of recent years this is an account well worth reading.
