After the terrible losses of The Great War, twenty years later the
Second World War resulted in the death of some of the finest
sporting icons. This book honours the ninety international rugby
players who lost their lives. Fifteen were Scottish, fourteen
English, eleven Welsh and eight Irish. Australia and New Zealand
suffered with ten and two internationals killed respectively and
France eight. Germany topped the list with nineteen. In the same
way that the Authors best-selling Into Touch remembered the 130
Internationals lost in the First World War, Final Scrum gives an
individual biography of each of the ninety with their international
and club playing record as well as their backgrounds, details of
their military careers and circumstances of their death. We learn
where they are buried or commemorated together with at least one
photograph of each player. Rugby enthusiasts will find this book a
fascinating and moving record of the sacrifice of the finest young
men of their generation who fought in the second worldwide conflict
of the 20th Century.
