Rugby's Strangest Matches
Rugby's Strangest Matches: Extraordinary but True Stories from over a Century of Rugby
by John Griffiths
Whether you play, referee, coach, write about, film or just watch rugby, you will love this book; the remaining 2% of the popuation who don't fit into any of the above categories will not!
The book covers unusual moments, strange incidents, outstanding performances and occasional violence from 140 years of rugby. It is a fascinating assembly of good, bad and utterly bizarre events. For example:
- 111 line-outs in one game
- All Blacks beaten by schoolboys
- Injured running onto the field
- Irish team with three pairs of brothers in it
- An unknown amateur in an England XV (selectors' cock-up)
