Product Description

This volume explores how rugby is played and revered in different countries and cultures. It unfolds in the space of two years, from September 1996 to August 1998, as McRae travels across the hemispheres, moving from Britain and France to the New World, comparing the game at club, provincial, and national levels. It begins in the South Africa of McRae's youth where rugby was a byword for Apartheid. It covers the tours of the All Blacks and The British Lions in the "new" South Africa, crosses France, Britain, and Ireland in the company of the Springboks and Wallabies, and ends up in New Zealand and Australia with the English and Welsh teams.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique and great rugby book, Mar 21 2012

By John Pavlakis - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Winter Colours: Changing Seasons in World Rugby (Paperback)

I like sports literature and Donald McRae produced a superb narrative. He covers multiple locations, cultures and athletes in a very human way. Not sure why it took me over a decade to come across this but it was well worth it.
