Rugby club tours - rule number one WHAT GOES ON TOUR, STAYS ON TOUR Yet again in the sequel to Taking it up the Blindside, Jon Prichard, former captain of the Bangkok British Rugby Club breaks all the rules. Cat-out-of-the-bag and spilling-the-beans on what really happens on rugby tours ain't the half of this book's mischief! If you have only watched rugby from the sidelines or indeed matches broadcast on TV and marvelled at the speed, agility, handling skills and utter respect paid to the referee and you've thought ...what nice gentlemen these sportsmen are... read this book to get another perspective. Back Up The Blindside is another raunchy, plain speaking, non-PC set of tales, some of which are frankly almost unprintable but are based on real life experiences. Whilst the majority of tales relate to playing rugby in Bangkok and touring in SE Asia there are anecdotal chapters from the past in Jon's younger years in the UK and even one about a shocking golf match!

What goes on tour, stays on tour…UNTIL NOW! All, and I do mean all, rugby players the world over are from the same mould. They are friendly, convivial, generally well mannered, muscular, motivated, heavy drinkers with a high testosterone level, but above all trustworthy...Until now. This treacherous author has let the pussy out of the bag and touring is no longer a simple visa permit from the wife. From the author, Jon Prichard: "I joined the British Club of Bangkok and immersed myself if their rugby team becoming captain for a few years and then as a playing and moaning Chairman. The BC and an Asian based Rhino’s RFC have taken me on innumerable rugby tours throughout Asia and beyond and in late 2017 I decided to make some written tales of those adventures. The tales are true and risqué in every way and some are seriously adult reading. There are also tales of simple experiences of living and working in Asia, but most have a rugby flavour."
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements are quasi-universal. Praised as the core of the international legal response to ensure environmental protection, this procedure is an information tool for better public decision-making, which can contribute to empowering individuals and civic groups. Based on the historical background of the relevant norms and on case studies, Interstitial Law-Making in International Law: A Study of Environmental Impact Assessments verifies whether the role of procedure in secreting substantive law may be fulfilled in the distinctive legal system of public international law, while appraising how EIA requirements have been conceived and implemented as regards encouraging all international actors to behave in an environmentally conscious way, in a world of heterogeneous political regimes. This book is based on the author’s award winning doctoral dissertation which received the Yale Law School’s Ambrose Gherini Prize for best paper in the field of international law (2018).
