The Bluffer's Guide to Rugby

Be an instant expert on rugby and bluff your way with anyone who knows anything about the game. From the 'dirty jersey move' to the 'short lineout ruse', this book tells you all you need to know to hold your own with any fan or player.

Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of rugby. Know what to say, what not to say, what to do in the company of rugby fans, and what excuses to make when the drinking games start. On the field of play never again confuse a Garryowen with a grubber, a blindside with an eye-gouge, or a spear tackle with a turnover. Bask in the admiration of your fellow rugby lovers as you pronounce confidently on the chances of your team trouncing the opposition, impress them with your seemingly extensive knowledge of rules and tactics, and make sure that you’re well versed in the difference between the two ‘codes’ of rugby league and rugby union. Above all know that the origins of the game lie in a blatant display of cheating.
