Rugby On This Day revisits many of the sport's most magical and memorable moments which might otherwise have slipped under the radar. Here are over 700 unusual and hilarious highlights, all mixed in with a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable rugby union diary - with an entry for every day of the year. Apart from the usual rousing title wins and stupendous tries, every fan has their favourite rugby memories, be they moments of inspiration on the pitch, streakers or 20-man brawls. As well as recalling events that will make you laugh, cry, or shake your head in disbelief, Rugby On This Day also benefits from brilliant research which delves deep into the game's history, gathering together so many original stories and tit-bits to create a snapshot of the diverse and often bizarre world of rugby union.
Rugby On This Day is the first book by Adrian Hill, who works freelance as a sports journalist/researcher. Born just down the road from Twickenham, Adrian joined the BBC straight from school and became a studio floor manager and researcher on flagship sports shows, moving in 1994 to become senior researcher on Sky Sport's rugby union coverage.
