World in Union is the story of the Rugby World Cup told via its
fifteen most important and dramatic matches. From the inauspicious
beginnings of the 1987 tournament, which nearly didn’t happen due
to back-room politics, and the amateur era’s aversion to
commercialism, the Rugby World Cup has grown into the third largest
sporting event in the world, behind only the FIFA World Cup and the
Olympics. World in Union looks at the greatest games and the
biggest controversies played out on the Rugby World Cup stage with
each chapter focusing on a different game. Western Samoa breaking
Welsh hearts, the emergence of Jonah Lomu, Nelson Mandela and
Francois Pienaar uniting the Rainbow Nation, Wilkinson’s drop for
World Cup glory, France’s habit of spoiling the All Blacks’
party, Sam Warburton’s controversial sending off and Japan’s
greatest moment—all this and more is covered in this enjoyable
narrative for all rugby fans.
