Launched as rugby hit fever pitch at the 2023 World Cup, Remarkable Rugby Grounds is the perfect title for the passionate rugby fan who will be astonished at the worldwide reach of their favourite game.

Remarkable Rugby Grounds continues the blend of earlier ‘Remarkables’ by mixing some of the world’s cathedrals of rugby with some of the quirky club grounds and local pitches set in beautiful locations.

Featuring 80 of the world’s most interesting rugby grounds, the book also delves a little into the history of the grounds by including a sprinkling of archive photos.
