Rugby has always been a sport with as much drama off the field as on it. For every thrilling last-minute Jonny Wilkinson drop-goal to win the World Cup or Jonah Lomu rampage down the touchline for a try there has been a split, a feud, or a controversy. 'The Oval World' is a full-length history of rugby on a world scale-from its origins in the village-based football games of medieval times to the globalised sport of the 21st century, now played in over 100 countries.
