"The International Rugby Encyclopaedia", meticulously compiled, has been 18 years in the making. This book is the complete international rugby encyclopaedia that presents every single recognised international ever played (since 1871 when Scotland took on England); is well illustrated and structured, featuring stories on the great players to have graced the game, the great matches to have captivated the crowds and the great stadiums to have hosted these internationals, as well as a plethora of rugby trivia. There is currently no such book on the market and there hasn't been since Chris Rhys published "Guinness Rugby - The Records" in 1987. This publication has the potential to become an annual release.
