Rugby is a game of contradictions. Run forward, pass backwards, tackle someone but sometimes don't, kick the ball away so you can win it back.

“Offside” can mean six different things, depending on the situation. The game preaches respect and discipline, yet the only place you’d see more minor assaults neatly stitched together is a police report.

It’s a game of linear progress until it isn’t, a sport where randomness is as baked in as the straight lines that mark the pitch.

Not even the ball makes sense.

In this first book of its kind, Squidge Rugby’s Robbie Owen takes you on a deep dive through the ins and outs of the sport. From its dawn to the modern day, discover key players, moments and stories that helped shape the game into the one we know and love today.

From breaking down the breakdown to untangling the scrum, no stone is left unturned in this epic journey which combines trademark Squidge writing and Ferry Gouw’s slick drawings.
