The Rugby World Cup has only been in existence since 1987, yet already it is established as the sport's premier competition - six weeks of frenzied action which entrances all the rugby-playing nations. The tournament has thrown up countless memorable matches, introduced us to amazing players and witnessed some incredible scores - from Michael Jones scoring the first World Cup try to the legendary All Blacks regaining the trophy in a titanic struggle with France 24 years later. In between we have witnessed two triumphs each for Australia and South Africa, and of course England's sole victory for a Northern Hemisphere side. To date. Relive France's spectacular wins over Australia and New Zealand; Argentina's repeated upsetting of the world order; last-minute drop goals by Joel Stransky and Jonny Wilkinson, and the sheer exuberance of the Pacific Islanders - in a Rugby World Cup history which will appeal to fans of every nation.

"When the 2015 Rugby World Cup kicks off in September, organisers expect it to be the third greatest sporting event in the world - rivalled only by FIFA's football World Cup and the Olympics. For an event staged only seven times in its history, the record books are well and truly on rugby's side, though to its fans, this comes as no surprise. The game that began life as a deadly scrummage in a posh British boy's school has evolved into the closest thing to war attainable on a sports field today - and everybody wants their country to win! Discover World Cup rugby from its early origins - witness the evolution of the game over nearly two centuries of popularity, controversy and success, and the many attempts to stage a world tournament in the lead-up to 1987's inaugural event. Step into the club-rooms of the 25 participating teams in the cup's history, and learn of their wins, losses and achievements since the very beginning. View the profiles of the cup's major players, past and present, including Jonny Wilkinson, Serge Blanco, Jonah Lomu, Brian O'Driscoll and many, many more. Fact-sheets, photographs, statistics and trivia abound as we explore how today's World Cup greats reached the top - and how they continue to push the boundaries of nail-biting excitement in rugby. Learn all about the fixtures, the 20 qualifying teams and the 13 venues for 2015's clash of rugby's world giants in England and Wales, including Wembley Stadium, Manchester City Stadium, the Millennium Stadium and Rugby itself - the birthplace of the game. Step into the future with the experts' projections for 2015, and test yourself against rugby's top tipsters in the lead-up to what promises to be the most exhilarating cup yet. This is a must-have for every fan of the game, packed with a plethora of photographs, facts and figures, and promising to last well beyond Twickenham's final whistle in 2015."--Publisher's description.

Rugby has always been a sport with as much drama off the field as on it. For every thrilling last-minute Jonny Wilkinson drop-goal to win the world cup or Jonah Lomu rampage down the touchline for a try, there has been a split, a feud or a controversy. The Oval World is the first full-length history of rugby on a world scale – from its origins in the village-based football games of medieval times up to the globalised sport of the twenty-first century,now played in well over 100 countries. It tells the story of how a game played in an obscure English public school became the winter sport of the British Empire, spread to France, Argentina, Japan and the rest of the world and commanded a global television audience of over four billion for the last world cup final. And how American football – and other games such as Australian, Canadian and Gaelic football – emerged from rugby and highlight just how much the modern gridiron game owes to its English cousin. Featuring the great moments in the game's history and its great names – such as Jonah Lomu, David Duckham, Serge Blanco, Billy Boston and David Campese alongside Rupert Brooke, King George V, Boris Karloff, Charles de Gaulle and Nelson Mandela – The Oval World investigates just what it is about rugby that enables it to survive and thrive in countries with very different traditions and cultures. This is the the definitive world history of a truly global rugby.
