THE SIX NATIONS RUGBY QUIZ BOOK

START THE COUNT DOWN ’TILL KICK-OFF WITH THE SIX NATIONS RUGBY QUIZ BOOK

The highly anticipated Six Nations is just around the corner: the coaches have named their training squads, fans are busy filling buses and ferries are being booked for a journey to the Emerald Isle to drink plenty of the black stuff.

In the count down to kick-off, what better way for rugby fans to prepare themselves for this year’s tournament than recalling some of those games gone by, and taking the opportunity to try and remember who kicked that penalty, and who scored that try?

Well, this new quizbook does just that - containing 50 rounds of 10 questions, reflecting on some fantastic and more unusual moments over the past tournaments, it’s enough to test and tease even the most dedicated rugby buff! Here’s the perfect gift or impulse buy for anyone counting down the days ’till kick-off.

Each round in The Six Nations Rugby Quiz Book can be considered as an individual quiz, with the questions tending to get harder as you go from number one to ten – and thankfully, there’s an answers section in the back of the book!

It is safe to say that the author Matthew Jones, a chemist from Cardiff, is a sports anorak. He spends his weekends travelling the length and breadth of the country visiting sporting events, and he has already published two other quiz books sport – including So You think You Know Welsh Rugby?, which has sold thousands of copies. It is due to the success and enthusiastic feedback to these books that Y Lolfa decided to commission the new book.
