Players, Parents, Coaches and Officals - A essential part of your rugby toolkit!5
After reading lots of rugby related books as a player, coach and ref I can honestly recommend this one as essential reading. How they got so much info into 200 odd pages is testiment to the Haynes formulae of providing clear and informative information and to the authors love and authorative grasp of the game. Bang upto date with current rugby stars views, ELV's explored, great colour pictures and even a section to cover the refs signals... its got something for everyone. Even Martin Johnson a man known for using few words is gushing in his introduction...and you know what he's dead right...even if he is still the scary man in the changing rooms! Enjoy.

Great little read5
Having grown up using a Haynes manual to help repair an old Peugot 106, I saw this and thought I'd pick it up, in the hope that I could pick up some wisdom to help my 7 year old's rugby skills.

I found it really very helpful - clearly written, interesting (particularly like the balance between great player biogs and the more technical stuff.

Oh, and for a part time player like myself, it actually has the rules of the game published...and given that I am still playing to 1980s rules, it has proved to be quite illuminating!

haynes Rugby Union Manual5
Howard Johnson has certainly come up with the goods in this book. Definately the Best introduction, and anylitical work on rugby ever. This should be a best seller!!!!
