As a result, many are playing far below their true potential. With this witty and imaginative guide to rugby laws, ex-referee Derek Robinson takes the rugby lawbook and turns it inside-out to explain clearly and concisely how, where and in what situations the various laws apply. Informative explanations are accompanied by annotated illustrations of on-field play. For players, referees, coaches and spectators alike, this book should add a new dimension to your understanding of the game.Review'The perfect companion for any keen rugby player' Daily Express 'Displays a sharp wit' Daily TelegraphAbout the AuthorDerek Robinson writes for the Rugby Football Union and the International Rugby Football Board.
