Jeff Gage
RUGBY’S BLAZERED BUFFOONS:
A Critical Analysis of English Rugby

A hard look at the mis-management of rugby union in England.

Publication date: 1997
Size: 160 pages 145 x 215mm
format: paperback

The Will Carling sacking fiasco ... the disastrous 1998 tour matches ... open warefare between top clubs and the RFU .... this book shows that these are the tip of a huge iceberg in an ocean of incompetence, inefficiency, confusion and under-achievement in English rugby union. Jeff Gage describes in graphic detail the squandering of the opportunities presented by the professionalisation of English rugby union, and offers a range of measures that could rejuvenate the game for professionals, amateur players, and spectators. “This book ought to be required reading for all administrators, even if some find Gage’s insights striking an unwelcome chord.” (Inside Rugby. Jan 1998)
Foreword by John Gallagher, NZ All Black.
