The Rugby League World Cup

by: Tim Butcher

2000-12
This book takes a look at all the world cups from 54 to the 2000 world cup. Includes every tournament, the teams that took part, all the teams players in that world cup and other info such as grounds played, attendances, warm up games and more. A very good book that as i said in the title is a must for any RL Internationalist. There are also reviews of the finals and group games.
