Art of Scrummaging

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9780987210302


Enrique TOPO Rodriguez has done that with his groundbreaking new book The ART of Scrummaging (TAOS). In his day (1984-87), TOPO was considered the best loose head prop in the world. His expertise in the scrum is legendary and no one played with more passion or determination. This, combined with the frustration he feels at the state of the modern-day scrum and his primary concern for player safety, has led him to produce the book which is set to shake up the rugby world. Not content with just relying on his own expertise, however, TOPO has worked with Dick Marks, Peter Fenton and Ross Turnbull, and called upon some of the great names of international rugby to create a body of work that is unrivalled in its depth and knowledge. Famous names, such as Sir Wilson Whineray, Cobus Visagie, Philip Orr, Al Baxter, Pieter de Villiers, Ray Williams, Philip Keith-Roach and Sir Brian Lochore, have all added their contributions on what they see as the problems with the scrum and offered ways to rectify them.
