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 Football the Rugby Game written by Harry Vassall and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the original rules of rugby as well as many other historical details of the great game in this 125 year old short-but-sweet treasure. Originally published in 1889 Harry Vassall's Football, The Rugby Game briefly discusses the rules, positions, and general flow of a game of rugby. At less than 75 pages, of which nearly 20 are composed of an appendix, this is clearly a book intended to be an introduction to the sport. He opens with a brief history of rugby and the development of the game and its rules over time. From there, Vassall begins a more technical discussion of the specific positions within rugby, dedicating individual chapters to the roles of the fullback, three quarterback, halfback, and forward. The author also discusses the role of the referee, and the evolution of rugby rules. The book concludes with an appendix presenting the rules of rugby current in his time. Vassal presents the information in a thorough but easy to understand style, opening up the game (which as even its best fans will appeciate can be a little Byzantine at times) for the layman and casual fan. The chapters highlighting the specific positions are the bread and butter of Vassall's book and present the book's most important information. While the game of rugby has certainly evolved since this book's publication, many of the foundational techniques are unchanged, although it is fascinating to compare those that have with their equivalents today. For those interested in rugby, especially its history and how it used to be played (when men were men, and a pack of gigantic Welshmen charging straight at you was a good afternoon's entertainment) Vassall's book remains a worthwhile read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third chapter in The Lost El Dorado series. The Lost Treasure of the Jamaican Pirate, is a treasure hunt for ancient gold set in a Blue Hole in the southern waters of the Caribbean Sea. The PT boat returns with its usual crew of treasure hunters to find the lost treasure which was placed there by a Jamaican Pirate named Captain Lester Smith in the late 1800's. He had been commissioned by the Union Army to fight against the Confederate Army, but, because of a last-minute swindle, he was forced to flee for his life, taking the Union money and became an outlaw. Now it is almost 150 years later and his great grandson, also a pirate, named Captain Lester Smith is hot on his ancestor's trail to find the lost treasure. There is a mercenary also looking for the gold and the three groups clash in their quest to find the lost treasure. The crew of the PT boat led by Captain Bill Treese, are diving in the dangerous water of the Blue Hole, which has held its secrets for the past century. Will they find the gold, only to lose it in the end to the other parties involved, or will they unlock a famous mystery and live to tell about it? Only time will reveal the lost treasure of the Jamaican pirate!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’ s an old joke about rugby players and oddballs. However, there certainly have been quite a few of them playing rugby in the history of the game. And not just oddballs, there’ s been pitbulls, quiet men, iron men, and unsung heroes. And you can meet them all in this quirky collection of the famous and infamous of the game. Characters include Wilfred Wooller, who, playing in the ‘ 30s, was described as a ‘ juggernaut, leaving a trail of prostrate figures in his wake.’ Then there was Gordon Brown (not the PM), known as ‘ Broonie’ but also as the baby-faced assassin when he first entered the Scottish team in 1696. Right up to Sir Clive Woodward who transformed the England side from amateur to professional – a man who knew his own mind, but didn’ t seem to sure about anyone else’ s. Using extensive research author John Griffiths wins bonus points for a funny, fascinating, remarkable collection of the good, the bad and the ugly, of the scrums, forwards, fly halfs, flankers and dummy passers. A great gift book for all rugby fans. John Griffiths is the author of six books on rugby and for many years co-edited Rothmans Rugby Yearbook and the IRB's Rugby Yearbook.
