A visual history of rugby's greatest sporting event, this beautiful
photographic book is a fascinating chronological exploration of the
matches, teams, heroes and surrounding stories of the tournament. Each
chapter covers a Rugby World Cup, starting with the inaugural
competition in 1987 - in which New Zealand confirmed their status as
the world's top rugby nation - to the historical 1995 Rugby World Cup
in South Africa after the end of apartheid and the international
sports boycott through England's fantastic win in 2003 breaking the
southern hemisphere's dominance, up to the 2015 qualifiers. The book
also looks ahead to Rugby World Cup 2019, with Japan as host city.
Each photograph has been carefully selected to give a real glimpse
into this great tournament. The ideal, collectable gift for any rugby
fan, written by a rugby expert.
