Ordered this for a rugby fan for Christmas and was amazed at how much information it contains. Full of facts, interesting (less well known) snippets and anecdotes, as well as some photos. Definitely good value – I had half expected a sparse stocking filler with a few lines for each date but was bowled over by the amount of information. Will keep rugby lovers content for some time.

You don’t have to be a rugby fan to enjoy this, I’m not and I have been. There’s a little bit of something for everyone, packed with little known facts and figures as well as the suff that everyone knows. Also a handy size though won’t quite fit in your pocket (unless you have large ones).
