This book is incredibly organized. It begins with basic skills, includes drills, troubleshooting in the drills, mistakes usually made, how to correct them, and how to tell if you're doing things right. Each chapter builds on what is learned before and gets into more and more complex tasks. It's almost like having a coach right there with you. I highly recommend it for any rubgy captain, coach or player.

This book is great for rugby players of all levels and positions. The chapters are well laid out and offer general instruction and then move on to skills sessions in varying degrees of difficulty. The book gives a great overview on the basics of the game, and winning rugby is all about sticking to the basics.

Especially if you are just starting to learn to play rugby, this is the single best book to get. It covers the laws, core skills, offensive and defensive strategies, training, basically everything you need to know, and is laid out perfectly, with engaging, illuminating graphics. It manages to cover everything while being fairly concise and properly sequenced. Indispensable for beginning and intermediate rugby players wishing to improve.

Great guide for coaching rugby. Have coached at men's club, HS and college levels and used this for drills and tactics for all three. Great graphics and excellent write-ups. Good drills for individual skill improvement as well as specific drills for forwards and backs.

Clear, full of coloured drawings and pictures... In one word this book is quite perfect.

This book brings to light things you never thought to implement into your training. It also brings into light things that you need to remember when playing you postion on the field. It is an even better tool when yuo combine it with The complete conditioning book for rugby. With these two tools in your hand you will improve your over all rugby skills and performance greatly. Even if your just a pickup game player there are things you can learn from these tools, and if you play for your local RFC or college this book will give you at least three steps up from your current performance.
