Synopsis:
U.S. Ruggers and their fans will delight in this extraordinary collection of astonishing true stories from the past 130 years, which reveal a bizarre side to a sport hitherto uncelebrated. A sampling: The Irish international who arranged his marriage in order to qualify for a leave of absence to play against England. The international test where an entire Wales side were sent off. The match in which a team of top soccer players beat their rugby counterparts at their own game, literally. And much more.
About the Author: John Griffiths is a regular contributor to the 'Daily Telegraph"s rugby column, and the author of several sports books, including 'The Book of English International Rugby', 'The Book of International Rugby Records', 'British Lions' and 'The Five Nations Championship'.
