Covering all of the epic rugby contests and featuring all of the great teams from England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland as well as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and British Lions, this beautiful book offers fresh insight into this much loved sport. Presented decade-by-decade and packed with exclusive player interviews and 150 photographs, this stunning illustrated book captures the highs and lows of the rugby union through a stylishly written, anecdote-packed text by one of the sport's leading authorities.
