'A mesmerising, unforgettable journey around world rugby. ' –
Donald McRae – Twice Winner of the William Hill Sports Book of
the Year ‘Magnificent … a hugely intelligent and entertaining
interweaving series of tales that gets into the “how” of
rugby.’ - Stuart Barnes, Sunday Times and Times columnist, former
Bath and England fly half --- Contrasting characters, colliding
cultures, the same oval-shaped ball. A journey to find the game’s
most remarkable people, teams and places, and unearth the true
meaning of rugby greatness. What makes rugby special? Which
individuals and teams have defined the modern game? Ahead of the
2023 Rugby World Cup in France, Around the World in 80 Minutes
charts the ‘golden era’ of global rugby union between 1973 and
2023 and goes in search of the sport’s most influential
trailblazers. Robert Kitson, the Guardian’s long-time rugby union
correspondent, assesses the game’s current health, tracks down
the battered gladiators of yesteryear and asks some pertinent
questions. Does rugby retain its old rugged charm? What does its
future look like? And what, ultimately, constitutes rugby
‘greatness’? Observant, amusing and thought-provoking, the
journey takes in some of the game's more prominent names –
including David Campese, Brian O’Driscoll, Maggie Alphonsi, Sean
Fitzpatrick, Eddie Jones and Sir Clive Woodward – to reflect on
rugby’s intangible shared joy. Millions of fans continue to find
rugby maddeningly irresistible and endlessly compelling. This book
is for them, and for anyone else wondering where the appeal lies.
