'I started playing rugby at the age of 10, and I wish that 'Understanding Rugby Union' was around then. It would have enabled me to have fun and enjoy learning the skills while also understanding the main principles behind the game. It provides a comprehensive insight into the rules and theories of rugby union, making it an instant hit with all youngsters!'
'Understanding Rugby Union', like the game itself, is fun and has something for everyone ... whether you are interested in finding out more about the game by just dipping in and out, or are looking for a good read, this book is a must-have.'
