This latest addition to the celebrated "Wit" series raises the cross-bar, bringing you hundreds of rugby related quotes that range from the hilarious to the philosophical. For anyone who knows their league from their union, this marvelous tome has more than enough for you to tackle. And for those who still think a hooker is a scantily clad lady of the night, it's worth a try.
