  • Summary

  • Mark ‘Ronnie’ Regan reached the top of rugby union – 2003 World Cup winner, 1997 Lions test series winner, and 1998 European Cup winner – but he did it all despite being profoundly deaf.


    Very few people knew about his condition, and in a candid interview, he explains why he told no one during his career, not least his coaches, how he found ways around the problem of not being able to hear his teammates, and what his advice would give to players in a similar situation today.


    The former Bath, Bristol and Leeds hooker takes us from his young days when rugby was his driving force through a week of struggling at school, his rise to international recognition, his regrets along the way, and how he worked his way back into the England squad to reach a second World Cup Final, this time one he started.
