Matthew Burke is generally acknowledged to be one of the greatest Ruby Union players in the world. Among his many sporting triumphs, he was a hero of Australia's 1999 World Cup victory, and stands as one of the game's highest ever point-scorers. He has fought in three World Cup campaigns and numerous Test matches in over a decade at the very top.
Now Matthew relates the story of his dazzling career in his own words. He tells of his days as a talented schoolboy and the path he followed to record-breaking performances on many famous international rugby arenas. As well as giving nail-biting first-hand accounts of legendary matches, he pulls no punches in talking about the game he loves, its players and the people behind the scenes. He writes frankly about the great highs - and the great lows, such as his dropping from the Waratah squad and missing out on the final World Cup team in Sydney 2003.
'Matthew Burke: A Rugby Journey' shows not only why Matthew is a legendary sportsman but also why he is a sporting role model.
