Description
Rugby's transformation into the modern world is a story of both triumph and turmoil. After defying the future for over a century, the sport has undergone a dramatic shift, propelled by professionalism and now facing unprecedented challenges. As rugby navigates its new landscape, it must confront financial, political, social, and medical strains that threaten to tear it apart. This thought-provoking analysis examines the journey so far and speculates on where the sport will go next. With an affection for the game that integrates all human life, despite its flaws, Unholy Union offers a fascinating and irreverent look at rugby's uncertain future. Written by Mike Aylwin, a sportswriter with the Guardian, and Mark Evans, a former director of rugby and chief executive of Harlequins, this book is a compelling exploration of the sport's present and potential.
