Lionheart by Richard Hibbard

Lionheart by Richard Hibbard

When Lions and Wales rugby star Richard Hibbard crashed into George Smith under a clear night sky in Australia, it felt as though the tremors might have rocked Sydney Harbour Bridge. Smith was the `Mr Indestructible’ of Australian rugby, yet he was helped off the pitch. Hooker Hibbard simply shook his trademark blond locks and carried on helping the Lions earn their 2013 series victory. Soon, pictures of "Hibbz" celebrating in the dressing room with James Bond actor Daniel Craig were being beamed around the world. In Lionheart the Ospreys star reflects on his long and often rocky road to the top of world rugby: from his roots in Port Talbot, to his stint with rugby league club Aberavon Fighting Irish, to fighting back from countless serious injuries.

Richard Hibbard started his rugby career at Taibach and Aberavon Quins before playing for the Wizards. A hugely physical player, he played rugby league for Aberavon Fighting Irish before moving to Swansea and later Ospreys, where he won the prestigious Patron's Player of the Year award 2005–2006 season. Since his first call up to the Wales National Squad in 2006, he has won 23 caps and was part of the victorious British & Irish Lions squad during the 2013 tour of Australia.
