Rugby News - December 2023 - January 2023

In this issue, we analyse why Ardie Savea is the world's best player, even if he is not a conventional No 8. We review the Ian Foster tenure, where small margins were key. In his column, Ian Jones calls for fans to be central to any match-day stadium experience, and we profile Risi Pouri-Lane and Akuila Rokolisoa of the NZ sevens teams.

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.
