Format:Paperback
I am no novice to the game, but have been searching for very technical information on the game. Unfortunately most of my questions were not answered by this book, yet I cannot deny that it is very informative and packed full of great explanations illustrations. That perfect technical treatise on the game still elludes though, but this should answer most questions and give you a good solid foundation.

Rugby: Steps to Success
1 May 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is incredibly organized. It begins with basic skills, includes drills, troubleshooting in the drills, mistakes usually made, how to correct them, and how to tell if you're doing things right. Each chapter builds on what is learned before and gets into more and more complex tasks. It's almost like having a coach right there with you. I highly recommend it for any rubgy captain, coach or player.

The Single Best Book of Its Kind
22 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Especially if you are just starting to learn to play rugby, this is the single best book to get. It covers the laws, core skills, offensive and defensive strategies, training, basically everything you need to know, and is laid out perfectly, with engaging, illuminating graphics. It manages to cover everything while being fairly concise and properly sequenced. Indispensable for beginning and intermediate rugby players wishing to improve.
