The Forwards - The Infantry of the Rugby Field - A Collection of Articles on the Tactics of the Pack in Attack and Defence - Paperback

by Various (Author)

"The Forwards" is a collection of vintage articles on the subject of rugby, with a special focus on the roles and tactics of the 'forwards'. With detailed explanations and step-by-step instructions, these detailed articles aim to furnish the reader with all the information necessary to properly organise and direct the forwards for both defence and offence in a game of rugby. Contents include: "The Forwards - The Men Who can Control the Play in Tight and Loose", "Forward Play", "The Line-Out", "Scrummaging", "How to Wheel", "Maintaining the Momentum of the Attack", and "The Forward in Defence". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of rugby.
