At its best,Rugby Union is the nearest sport comes to poetry in motion - marvellous flowing passages,brilliant sleight of hand,running that thrills.All these aspects as well as the gruesome prose of the scrums are vividly captured by the giants of the world game as told to Chris Thau and Bob Holmes.
Following the success of football's 'My Greatest Game',rugby's big names remember their own particular highlights.There are legendary British matches courtesy of Gareth Edwards,Andy Irvine and Ollie Campbell,the All Blacks' victory in the first World Cup final,and the Wallabies in the second.South Africa's Errol Tobias tells how he showed the cynics that he was no token black and also included is a piece by France's unforgettable Monsieur Drop.Vintage rugby,vividly recalled.
