After never playing rugby in my life (my only experience of the game was watching England lift the world cup in 2003) I decided to take it up with a local club. However my first training session was a farce!! I decided to read up and this book fitted the bill perfectly. No matter if you are a complete novice or have experience in the game there is a lot for you in this book. It covers every aspect of the game and insights from rugby legends. This book was invaluable to me and some of the lads at my club reckon it is a cracking read too!!

No arguments here - its a very comprehensive beginners guide as well as being a great reference point for those who have some experience, but dont know the ins and outs of all aspects of this complex game. I found it very useful as an experienced rugby spectator who is making the transition to the pitch - its hepled me come to terms with the experience on the field without having to ask my team mates stupid questions.

If like me, you don't really understand the ins and outs of Rugby, this is a great introduction. Too often I've watched a Rugby International, understood 80% but been completely bemused by some of the penalties. Now at least I've got a chance of getting it !
