A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Rugby is a sport that means different things to different people around the world. So when award-winning writer Donald McRae set off to take the pulse of the sport soon after the dawn of the professional era, he began to build a portrait of the game that highlighted the contrasts between nations, who may have been united in their love for rugby, but who saw it in very different ways.

Featuring in-depth interviews with a range of great players from around the world, including Sean Fitzpatrick, Francois Pienaar and Lawrence Dallaglio among others, Winter Coloursis a compelling account of the culture of rugby as seen by its biggest stars - men who also hold dear the sport's very traditions that make it so special. This is a remarkable piece of writing and is sure to be of interest to all who follow the sport at any level.

Revue de presse

"This is the best book on rugby to hit the shelves since Stephen Jones's Endless Winter . . . McRae spent a year rubbing shoulders with the world's heroic rugby figures . . . he achieves levels of intimacy that elude many others" (The Independent)

"Enthralling - a book which ranges like a loose forward, grips like a hooker entering a five-metre scrum and is told with the guile of a French three-quarter" (The Herald)
