Reviews

"Carrying the title "The Man Who Changed the Face of Rugby", Ross Reyburn's updated version of the John Dawes biography gives an authoritative and thoroughbred assessment of modern rugby and what is needed before we see any improvement in playing standards and enhancement of the enjoyment factor. Three additional articles form appendices in this re-write. The first is by London Welsh, Wales and British Lions flanker John Taylor, the second by the late Evening Standard editor J L Manning and the third by Birmingham Post correspondent Michael Blair. They all highlight what a debt the game owes to John Dawes. - Barri Hurford, Secretary, Welsh Rugby Writers
