“Raucous.” –Publisher’s Weekly

“Being a 165-pound wiseass has always been a dangerous occupation.” –Jay Atkinson, Memoirs of a Rugby-Playing Man

If all sports are really about war, then rugby is a heart-thumping epic of bayonet charges and hand-to-hand fighting. In Memoirs of a Rugby-Playing Man, bestselling author Jay Atkinson describes his thirty-five year odyssey in the sport-from his rough and rowdy days at the University of Florida, through the intrigue of various foreign tours, club championships, and all star selections, up to his current stint with the freewheeling Vandals Rugby Club out of Los Angeles.
