"The 2011 Rugby World Cup is set for September in New Zealand, home of some of the fittest rugby players, both mentally and physically, in the world. It will be the biggest sporting event in New Zealand's history and one of the most avidly followed tournaments in the history of the game. It's all here: players, legends, statistics, anecdotes, lore and scuttlebutt - all beautifully illustrated from the incomparable photography of Getty Images. The book provides a perfect guide to each of the 20 teams, their prospects and their histories. In addition, tucked in the back, is a unique wall poster to be filled in with game results, as the Cup progresses towards its undoubtedly dramatic climax on the 23rd of October at Auckland's Eden Park stadium."--Publisher's description.
