The Reduced History of Rugby: The Oval-shaped Story of the Union Game Squeezed into 80 Minutes

Captures the essence of William Webb Ellis, the daddy of oval ball games, in 80 minutes. This is the story of rugby - a compilation of match reports, spoof correspondence and cartoons. From the playing fields of Edwardian England's public schools to the splendour of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, the game's achievements and happenings are recalled.
