Meticulously compiled, this book has been 18 years in the making. It is "the" complete international rugby encyclopedia that presents every single recognized international match ever played (since 1871 when Scotland took on England). It is well illustrated and structured, featuring stories on the great players to have graced the game, the great matches that captivated the crowds and the great stadiums to have hosted these internationals, as well as a plethora of rugby trivia. There is currently no such book on the market and there hasn t been since Chris Rhys published "Guinness Rugby - The Records" in 1987. Andrew says, "This inspired me to accumulate and produce a similar, and more complete, compilation of international rugby records that will be all rugby supporters essential rugby "bible"; that will be a must-have on their bookshelves to which they can easily refer to answer all the rugby trivia that no one knows the answer to. It is a complete and accurate representation of each and every rugby record, international game and scorer through the ages."
