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 exploits of the people’s heroes from Gould t o Gareth Edwards. The beauty and exhilaration of the game is vividly recaptured in some classic prose. So too are the emotions and expectations of the most passionate followers in the world. They deserve the best team we can put out. Here it is, a selection of world-beating writing on rugby. Includes Richard Burton, Frank Keating, John Reason, Eddie Butler to name a few, as well as a foreword by one of the all-time Rugby greats, Gerald Davies. Show more
