Publisher's Synopsis
An international sport in which bodily contact is not only part of the game but an essential element of its strategy and tactics, and yet where acts of ill-discipline are rare and the role of the sport in developing personal determination and athletic skills has been long established. This highly visual evocation of the world of rugby portrays it as it is - tough! Its text is equally hard-hitting, showing how physical and mental hardness is necessary to achieve success. "Hard-Core Rugby" is a new style sports book - the vitality of the game is used to reach its techniques.
