Items related to Rucking & Rolling: 60 Years of International Rugby
Since the Second World War the sport has burgeoned into a multi-million euro business and this book follows the rise of the sport, from the first and only Irish Grand Slam in 1948 to the great English teams of the 1950s, the legendary Welsh teams of the 1960s and 1970s, the exciting French teams of the 1980s and 1990s, the growth of Australian rugby, the Lions and Barbarians tours and the traditional power houses of South Africa and of course, the awesome All Blacks. From its origins as an amateur sport, to its modern-day professionalism, rugby union has undergone immense changes.
Like all other major sports, rugby union has had more than its fair share of controversy and politics, and this book, like the game itself, has met the conflict head on.
Features interviews with the game's greatest names including Tony O'Reilly, Colin Meads, Gareth Edwards, Jean-Pierre Rives, David Campese, Francois Pienaar and Martin Johnson
Foreword by George Hook
