Book - Ovalie Butchery, Survival Guide to Rugby Country

Only an Englishman could invent a sport in which you pass backwards to try to move forward.Only the naughty kids from the Ovalie Butchery could take on this impossible challenge: trying to explain what the game of rugby is.Positions and player profiles, technical and tactical approaches, deciphering key phases of play such as the fight or the third half, myths and legends of bus journeys or changing room atmospheres, in this work, the Bouchers review everything that makes up the essence and charm of this strange sport, with their own unique sense of humor.Aimed at the unconscious who put on their cleats and mouthguards every weekend, as well as those who wisely prefer to remain seated in the stands or sprawled on a sofa, this salutary guide is the essential object for all those who have never dared to admit that, like everyone else, they have never understood anything about rugby.
