Review

Rugby is a game that has grown tremendously in popularity over the last decade of the 20th century. Participation has increased at club level and the sport is developing throughout the world. The Spirit of Rugby, through the use of photographs from the Colorsport agency, is a record of the games, great players and personalities. The book also represents the modern game, which has now become professional both on and off the pitch. The Rugby World Cup has demonstrated that rugby now has a mass audience, with broad appeal. The book portrays the boyish enthusiasm of youngsters, as well as the flowing movement of today's out-standing heroes, caught on camera. The images depict the legendary camaraderie of rugby players and supporters. To place the images into context, David Walmsley, the Chief reporter from Rugby News has written a number of articles. These short pieces are informative and entertaining. The Spirit Of Rugby is a book that every player and fan will enjoy. It covers every aspect of the game. -- Rugby Ireland International, The Official Magazine of the IRFU January 2000
