This is an auction for RUGBY'S STRANGEST MATCHES by John Griffiths.

Amazon.com reviews:

"A curious collection of true stories from the stranger side of rugby, featuring the the Irish international who arranged his marriage so he could play against England, the team of football players who beat their rugby counterparts at their own game, and the day the entire Wales team was sent off. Rugby fans will delight in this astonishing collection of outlandish stories from the past 150 years of the game. Here you’ll find, among many other curious events, the Irish international who arranged his marriage in order to play against England, the team of top soccer players who beat their rugby counterparts at their own game, the day the entire Wales team was sent off, and when in an astonishing turn of events underdog Japan trimphed and beat South Africa (and who doesn't love an underdog). The tales in this book are bizarre, fascinating, and, most importantly, true."

"FIVE STARS! If you are a rugby geek, you will be in heaven. If you are not, you will finally understand a litlle bit better about those crazy ruggers and why they are the way they are. This is a great gift for the insane rugby hooligan in your life."

"FIVE STARS!! Great collection of anecdotes on the strangest rugby matches ever! Purchased for my son, a rugby player for christmas and he loved it. Some of the stories are only a paragraph long, but a great read for those who don't like lengthy text."

"FIVE STARS! Some great stories. I have visited some of the venues mentioned and I have been to Auckland a few times and have been fortunate enough to see both Wales and the Lions play at Eden Park."
