Beschreibung
A lot of rucking and mauling has gone on since William Webb Ellis first picked up the ball and ran, but this doughty little book heroically manages to capture the true essence of the daddy of all oval ball games in just 80 minutes. This is the story of rugby as never been told before: a jinking, weaving compilation of surreal match reports, spoof correspondence and quirky cartoons. From the playing fields of Edwardian England''s public schools to the canopied splendour of Cardiff''s Millennium Stadium, the game''s towering achievements, hilarious happenings and ludicrous coincidences are entertainingly recalled.
