Firsts, Lasts & Onlys is a rugby fan's delight, chock-full of
astonishing events, time-honoured anecdotes and distinctly unlikely
facts. Beginning in 1823 with an event that probably didn't happen,
the book charts the history of the sport to the present day. Did
you know that Wasps were not included at the formation of the Rugby
Football Union because their representative went to the wrong venue
and got drunk? Or that the first international was won by Scotland
because the umpire, a Dr Almond, adjudged: 'When an umpire is in
doubt, I think he is justified in deciding against the side which
makes the most noise. They are probably in the wrong'? Do you know
which was the first novel to mention rugby? When the last 20-a-side
rugby match was played? Or why a fan cut off his testicles to
celebrate a win? All this, and so much more.
