Description

The Rugby Annual First Edition - Bill Mitchell & Nigel Starmer-Smith. "The first edition of The Rugby Annual provides a complete record of all the important matches played in Britain and abroad from June 1985 to May 1986. On the International scene there are reviews of overseas trips made by the English, Scottish and Irish teams as well as visits to Britain by the colourful Fijians, Queensland, the New Zealand Services and many more. On the domestic front the club scene is reported as never before, while the John Player Special Cup, the Schweppes Welsh Cup and Scottish Leagues, and all the Irish domestic competitions are covered as are the major French matches. The Thorn EMI County Championship in its new format is also featured. Naturally the Five Nations Championship retains its place as the most important event of any season and this is given special attention. There are also in-depth reviews of the coming First World Cup with some fascinating projections which will be of interest to all Rugby Fans. And for nostalgia-lovers there are special features written by some of the game's most famous and best-loved names, including Bill Beaumont, Willie John McVride, Bill McLaren, Clive Norling, John Rutherford and J.P.R Williams amongst others. Another section offers you the selection of the best ever teams for the last ten years for each of the Five Nations. " The dust jacket has a large tape repaired cut down from the top but the book remains in a good condition.
