Two Welshmen who've been given the accolade of being the top rugby referee in the world. The only two Welshmen to have refereed a World Cup final. They've not only served the game that they love, they've contributed to its development and appeal over many decades.

"With over 60 illustrations explaining every facet of the game and featuring all the latest law changes, this is an essential sourcebook for both amateur and professional player alike."--BOOK JACKET.

The laws of rugby are as extensive as they are confusing, their nuances and interpretations argued over relentlessly by rugby fans around the world and virtually impenetrable to those who are new to the game. In an effort to provide some much-needed clarity, Paul Williams takes an irreverent, hilarious, p*ss-taking tour through the labyrinth that is rugby's rule book – or, for the pedantic, rugby's law book. Hilarious, off-beat and (surprisingly) insightful, this is the perfect gift for rugby fans all around the world.
