Wags Little Book of Rugby

Temporarily out of stock

Years ago, they used to be called \"grass widows.\" Nowadays, they're called WAGs - the Wives and Girlfriends of men who are fixated on playing or watching rugby. How can they escape their loneliness and feeling of desertion? By joining the party, that's how! This little book is aimed at educating the fair sex in the gentle art of rugby so that they can understand the game and share their partner's passion. It can be bought by the women themselves, or by their men who want them to know more, or by anybody who wants to learn more about rugby in a humorous and user-friendly way. The emphasis of the book is on avoiding boredom and being funny. Any 'instructional' sections are written in a witty, irreverent and \"waggish\" way. And they are interspersed with straightforward comical items such as rugby songs, jokes and quotes from famous players and commentators. The subjects covered are: How the Game is Played; Positions On The Pitch; Rules and Laws; Terminology; Venues; and Competitions. At the end of all the info and comic interludes comes a light-hearted quiz to see how much has been learnt, and it all ends up with a get-out clause - if after all you don't want to be a Rugby WAG, there's some advice on how to be a rich and spoilt WAG! All in all, this little book packs a terrific punch. At the end of it, you will have learnt a great deal about rugby and laughed at almost every line.
