The Six Nations rugby miscellany - John White

Revised and updated to include the 2013 Six Nations Championship, there are hundreds of fascinating facts about the competition (and its predecessors the British and Five Nations Championships) on a wide range of topics, from individual players and famous teams to sports politics, scandals, and controversies off the field. It also features famous quotes, final championship tables, big match results, fantasy teams, records, lists, and numerous trivia entries. As the items appear completely at random, the book can be read from cover to cover, but is even better being dipped into and enjoyed—like short bursts over the gain line. Researched with unflagging energy by an unrivalled master of the sporting factoid, and a proud Irishman who celebrated long and loud after his country's 2010 Triple Crown, The Six Nations Rugby Miscellany will bring hours of reading pleasure to every rugby union fan.
