## Description

Review: Essential book for those of us who love a rugby player and have no clue! - OK...hate to admit this as my son has played rugby for over 6 years and just became co-captain of his college team - Go GMU Gang Green!, but I didn't have a clue as to what was happening on the field! So, I got this book so I could actually follow what was happening in the game. This book really helps and is extremely well written, so even I, a relative sports novice could follow it and find it entertaining. My son has been caught reading certain parts of it such as the rugby resource sections just to learn more. This book is great for novices like me, but also those who might need a refresher, or more experienced players looking for resources. Makes me want to sit down with the authors and have an "adult beverge" or 2.
Review: Absolutely love this book - Absolutely love this book. I knew nothing about rugby which my son decided he wanted to play out of the blue. This has helped me understand what he is talking about and when they start their matches here soon I will be able to follow what is going on. His coach is new to coaching rugby and is looking into this book as well because it has lots of tips on nutrition, weight training and even coaching. And what is helpful for players to keep in their bags. And the price is great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dummies layout and lack of color hinder an otherwise great read.
*by T***T on February 28, 2012*

I have to say: This is a great book and I wish these authors had a different publisher and better pictures; which is why I agree with another reviewer and I purchased a second book with better graphics and pictures. I too like ordering this book in addition to Tony Williams' "Rugby Skills, Tactics and Rules" to accompany the Dummies edition. As for this book, it's for North Americans, which benefits me. The Williams book has New Zealand specific jargons and this can be a bit confusing with the multiple differences in terminology. If you want to learn about the game the Dummies book is a necessity: if you need a visual guide, Williams is great and it shows all the competing nations at the game to familiarize yourself to who the great teams are. I haven't purchased a book on the 7s version of rugby, but I recommend finding one: this will be the Olympic version of the sport and it's a very entertaining time truncated version of the game, only 7 players per team and 7-10 minute halves with two minute halftimes. Makes for a very exciting game. I grew up in the '70s and remember the new game of soccer to the U.S., Rugby is the new soccer for my children's era. Get involved! From what I can tell, it appears safer than American football, no blocking (less micro-concusions)and only contact between ball carrier and tackler(s). High tackles are illegal, so head to head contact is minimized. Younger kids play flag and tag versions, as they get into middle school and high school, full contact is introduced. Scrapes and cuts are common in this sport and the rare big injuries, but from my observation over the last four years, I've only witnessed one head to head contact, which was the mistake of the Canadian player, which I saw in the World Cup last year. Learn more about the game. I want to pull my kid out of football altogether, because I think this is a better game.
