Violence in Rugby on March 03, 2013
(no rating)
I just finished the rugby violence book. It was very thorough. In fact, it was like being in a toe to toe prize fight - very intense descriptions of the incidents and those involved with no ducking and weaving. The sanctioned and unsanctioned distinction certainly holds up well. It is the grey areas and particularly trying to work out the intent of the damager where it becomes really engaging. The section I found most interesting involved the cases which went to court and the legal principles and judgements involved. In summary, a detailed, well written and thought provoking account of aggression in rugby union.
