Rugby Union for Dummies
Review date: 2009-07-28 Rating: 8 out of 10
I very much enjoyed this book with it's humorous and entertaining presentation. It covered a lot of general R.U. information and history as well as the basic essential laws of the game. For me, as a fairly new recruit to the rugby terraces I was still left with a quite a number of unanswered questions, but all in all, in the space available, it did justice to it's title and was a good read, well worth the money.

No arguments here - its a very comprehensive beginners guide as well as being a great reference point for those who have some experience, but dont know the ins and outs of all aspects of this complex game. I found it very useful as an experienced rugby spectator who is making the transition to the pitch - its hepled me come to terms with the experience on the field without having to ask my team mates stupid questions.
Funny, informative and a damn good read

After never playing rugby in my life (my only experience of the game was watching England lift the world cup in 2003) I decided to take it up with a local club. However my first training session was a farce!! I decided to read up and this book fitted the bill perfectly. No matter if you are a complete novice or have experience in the game there is a lot for you in this book. It covers every aspect of the game and insights from rugby legends. This book was invaluable to me and some of the lads at my club reckon it is a cracking read too!!

My previous experiences with For Dummies sports titles was an Aussie edition of Aussie Rules for Dummies, which I devoured because the author had so thoroughly explained the intricacies of the game and histories of prominent teams. I had hoped that the rugby union volume would be similar--but it wasn't. Rugby Union for Dummies provides a good overview to those new to the game but it is a bit lacking on explaining the roles of the 15 position players in anything more than a highlight. Top leagues and teams in the UK are detailed but, again, only at a high level. Several chapters are given over to playing or supporting rugby at a local level. While this might be a major portion of rugby union at the UK grassroots level, it doesn't really help those of us abroad understand the game we see on television. I learned a lot from this book--don't get me wrong--but I felt I could have learned more.
