Book of the Month --Rugby World, July 2011

This book could become a bible for all those ludicrously fortunate people who have the time and money to wander the world taking in all the culture and cuisine and all the top rugby. However, it will also be a useful travelling companion for all those taking delight in one-off trips. The illustrations and pictures are absolutely top quality, the book is easy on the eye as well as splendidly useful --Stephen Jones, The Sunday Times, May 2011

Rugby nations, big and small feature, the heavyweights given the full treatment of overview, stadium info, club histories, facts, stats and even weather watch. Informative reading, with an appealing lightness of touch. --Rugby World, July 2011

A bible that every self respecting rugby fan must have. The book is clear, concise, animated, easy to navigate and simply the perfect pocketbook, whether you are a seasoned rugby expert or a complete rugby virgin. --Rugby Unplugged website, 14 June 2011
