    About this ebook

    We all like choosing the best-ever rugby team, but here is a XV with a difference. A team of fifteen writers, not players, describe the exhilaration of the game, and the emotions of the most passionate followers in the world, in some classic prose. They deserve the best team we can put on the field. Here it is - a selection of world-beating writing on rugby.

    With an introduction by Gerald Davies, the featured authors include Richard Burton, Gwyn Thomas, Frank Keating, Alun Richards and many more.

      I was most interested to read that Purdey is now offering a service that provides the history and provenance of the sporting weapons made by that august house over the years. How things have changed since the days of Richard Beaumont. I well remember

      “Rugby Without Fans Is A Film Without Dialogue”

      Nov 3, 2020

      FANS. RUGBY fans. What would we do without them? Sadly, we are now finding out. Rugby is being played in ghost grounds, with just a mere splattering of coaches and coaching back-up, a few television technicians and a row or two of journalists. It is

      The Voice Of The Countryside

      IT was 170 years ago, on Saturday, 1 January 1853, that a klaxon sounded in the maelstrom of Victorian newsprint that represented those interests and pastimes of the leisured 19th-century gentleman. In the smoky, industrialised buzz of the city, the

      January is an odd month, almost meaningless, certainly downbeat, the diary equivalent of a misplaced semi-colon in the yearly sentence. Don’t know about you but I always feel an urge to do one of two things during those drab, tedious weeks: 1) Clear
