Description

Scottish Rugby 101 is a compendium of fascinating facts, quotes, stats, stories, personalities and trivia - a perfect stocking-filler for all fans of Scottish rugby. From the very first Test match in 1871 all the way through to the present day, Scottish rugby's rich history is distilled into 101 facts, stats and stories. This fun-packed volume is an instructive, if sometimes irreverent - but always affectionate - guide to some of the ground-breaking firsts, controversies, innovations, achievements and disasters that have taken place in the game north of the Border - an entertaining crib-sheet to Scottish rugby for experts and novices alike.
