‘Really enjoyed this one. Great pace and really engaging throughout. Top work’ – Mark Palmer, The Times

'An analytical, nostalgic, but also hilarious love-in on the chaotic kick-about we choose to adore: rugby union' – Will and Robbie Owen, Squidge Rugby
According to legend and a cursory look at Google, rugby was created in 1823. When William Webb Ellis allegedly picked up the ball, and ran with it, rugby was born. How true this is, we don’t know. But what we can almost guarantee is that no matter how the game started, even after just one day of the sport being invented, some people will have said that it was better in the f***ing old days.
As progressive as rugby has become (both on and off the field) many feel that rugby ‘yesterday’ as better than rugby today. But do the stats back this up? Do the ill-informed opinions of the book’s author back that up? This book examines various aspects of the game, and judge whether rugby’s best days are behind, or ahead of it.
Let the debate commence . . .
Hilarious, off-beat and (surprisingly) insightful, this is the perfect gift for rugby fans all around the world form the author of the best-selling Rugby Has F***ing Laws, Not Rules.
