About this title

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.
