Rugby News Magazine - August 2016

In this issue

Mark Calverley believes the All Blacks are heading into the Rugby Championship scores ahead of the rest - but will the Championship be plain sailing for the men in black? Matti Brooks presents the best-case scenario for the Wallabies, and we survey the best of the Pumas and Springboks. Meanwhile, domestic rugby ramps up for the season, with the NRC in Australia and the Heartland and Mitre 10 cups in New Zealand. After all, where would international rugby be without our local competitions? So grab your copy of Rugby News, hit the sidelines and support your local team this season.

Rugby News Magazine Description:

Do not bother with cheap imitations. We are the pulse of the nation’s national game, and have been for nearly 50 years.

We call on a stable of the country’s best rugby scribes, including new editor Campbell Burnes, Phil Gifford, Liam Napier, Jim Kayes and Richard Knowler, along with stats guru Paul Neazor to bring you all the insight and analysis you need to accompany your rugby watching. Ian Jones, Craig Dowd and Jeremy Paul offer knowledgeable regular columns from their vast experience at international level.

Our focus on grassroots rugby from club to school to provincial, not to mention women’s and sevens, gives us a vital point of difference and antidote to the saturation coverage of the top end of the game. We do not neglect the game’s history and there is plenty for you rugby nostalgics to sink your teeth into with our new features ‘Where are they now?’ and ‘My Favourite Player.’

Still cheaper than a rum and a coke, Rugby News continues to offer full value for money and is a must for any serious follower of the game.
