The author offers the inside story of the rugby revolution since the arrival of professionalism in 1995. On the field, rugby is now more vivid than ever, with attendances rising and media interest at an all-time high. But off the field the game has been plunged into chaos, with blundering officials squabbling over control of the game, while player salaries are pushing some clubs towards bankruptcy. Stephen Jones assess how the game stands in the 21st century.
