Alex Payne Author

The Good, The Bad and The Rugby is the highly anticipated book from noted broadcaster Alex Payne (the good), England legends James Haskell (the bad) and Mike Tindall (the rugby).

Alex Payne is an experienced rugby broadcaster and a live event host. He began his television career as a presenter on the 'Rugby Club'. He then travelled to New Zealand as the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour reporter.

James Haskell, author of bestselling books What a Flanker and Ruck Me, is one of the UK's most well-known rugby players. Having progressed through all levels of rugby, Haskell retired in 2019 with 77 England caps.

Mike Tindall began playing rugby at a young age. Today he is widely considered to be one of the finest players to ever put on an England shirt. Now an MBE, he’s a player who has won almost every trophy the game has to offer.

Together they host the weekly podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.
