Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Simply the best book on rugby union ever written" The Guardian "A memorable, epic journey through the sport" Sunday Times "A work that stands head and shoulders above any rival" The Times "This is the best book on rugby to hit the shelves since Stephen Jones's Endless Winter ... McRae spent a year rubbing shoulders with the world's heroic rugby figures ... he achieves levels of intimacy that elude many others" The Independent "Enthralling - a book which ranges like a loose forward, grips like a hooker entering a five-metre scrum and is told with the guile of a French three-quarter" The Herald
