How to Watch a Game of Rugby

Spiro Zavos’s new book, How to Watch a Game of Rugby, will delight both fans and those yet to develop a full appreciation of the finer points of the game. Zavos shares his love of the sport with wit and passion, and passes on some illuminating pointers. Those who have ever wondered what the difference is between a ruck and a maul, a fly half and a fullback will find the answers here. Those who already know – and agree with Spiro’s contention that the good watcher of rugby is the one who is passionate about the game’ – should prepare to be indulged.
