Ever been at a rugby match and not known what to yell out when?
Here's the answer to your prayers: Rugby Speak. A book you can pop in your pocket along with your hip flask and pull out should you feel the need to yell out appropriate abuse from the terraces.

There aren't many rules when it comes to grammatically correct rugby terms but Justin Brown has come up with the essentials if you intend to sound at least a tad informed.

Chapters include: What to yell at the ref, What to yell at the players, Things which sound rude but aren't, and Things women shouldn't say.

Rugby Speak is chock-full of wry observations and hilarious sideline comments. Perfect for bluffers who want to appear educated, this will also be a great gift for the rugby fanatic. First published August 2006.
