Barry John's World of Rugby No.2
Description
Barry John's World of Rugby No.2- Barry John. "In this, the second volume of The World of Rugby series, Barry John leads out another team of famous players, correspondents and commentators, who discuss and analyse the many aspects of the current game. Full coverage is given to the past International Championship, and to the grand-slam tour of Britain by the All Blacks. Whilst the highly successful England tour of the Far East is dealt with in great detail, together with its effect on the English side to compete in the coming international championship, the book could not avoid commenting on the Irish tour of Australia and the shattering impact Ollie Campbell has on the opposition. Ireland did what neither Wales nor England could do on their last tours of Australia. Aspects of play are delt with by world class players such as Bob Hiller and John Taylor. The forever scorned selectors are given a boost by Gerals Davies, whilst attitudes to the game and sportsmanship generally are discussed by Ray Williams. And how does Gareth Edwards view the game after his retirement? So join Barry once more, in this magnificently illustrated book, and read the views of John Reason, Chris Rea, Gareth Edwards, Bob Hiller and many many more." Tidy and well looked after, overall in good condition.
