Book excerpt: The Treasures of Rugby Union is a celebration of one of the world's oldest international team sports (pre-dating international soccer by a year). It covers the development of the game from the moment William Webb Ellis is reputed to have picked up a ball and run with it during a soccer match at Rugby School in 1823 to the ultra professional game of today and all that happened in between. It focuses on the sport's biggest nations, provides a history of some of rugby's quirkier aspects--such as the British and Irish Lions and Barbarians--and includes a section on sevens rugby, as well as a report on every Rugby World Cup. Packed with never-before-published memorabilia, courtesy of the World Rugby Museum at Twickenham--the home of English rugby--this book, fully revised and updated for the 2015 IRB Rugby World Cup, is part of Carlton Books' highly successful of Treasures series and is essential reading for every rugby fan.

Download or read book The Oval World written by Tony Collins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rugby has always been a sport with as much drama off the field as on it. For every thrilling last-minute Jonny Wilkinson drop-goal to win the world cup or Jonah Lomu rampage down the touchline for a try, there has been a split, a feud or a controversy. The Oval World is the first full-length history of rugby on a world scale – from its origins in the village-based football games of medieval times up to the globalised sport of the twenty-first century,now played in well over 100 countries. It tells the story of how a game played in an obscure English public school became the winter sport of the British Empire, spread to France, Argentina, Japan and the rest of the world and commanded a global television audience of over four billion for the last world cup final. And how American football – and other games such as Australian, Canadian and Gaelic football – emerged from rugby and highlight just how much the modern gridiron game owes to its English cousin. Featuring the great moments in the game's history and its great names – such as Jonah Lomu, David Duckham, Serge Blanco, Billy Boston and David Campese alongside Rupert Brooke, King George V, Boris Karloff, Charles de Gaulle and Nelson Mandela – The Oval World investigates just what it is about rugby that enables it to survive and thrive in countries with very different traditions and cultures. This is the the definitive world history of a truly global rugby.

Book excerpt: A stunning celebration of the recent history of Rugby Union featuring interviews with the game′s greatest names. When William Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it during a game of football at Rugby School in 1823, little could he, or any of the bemused onlookers, have known that his actions would spawn a game that, over 180 years later, has created a rich and varied tradition in many countries around the world. Since World War II, the sport has burgeoned into a multi-million dollar business and become one of the world′s most closely followed sports. RUCKING AND ROLLING follows rugby union from the end of World War II and catalogues the rise of the game, from the great England teams of the 1950s, the legendary Welsh sides of the 1960s and 70s, the French teams of the 1980s and 90s, the sudden successes of Scotland and Ireland, the growth of Australian rugby and the traditional power-houses of New Zealand and South Africa. Decade by decade, RUCKING AND ROLLING shows how interest spread from the eight major nations, into mainland Europe, across the Atlantic to the Americas, and across the Indian Ocean to the Polynesian islands and south Asia, culminating with the World Cup, played for the William Ellis Trophy.
