Autobiographies saturate the rugby union book market; is that what rugby fans want?
If you go to any high street book shop in the UK you will find, usually a very small, rugby union section. Your options will likely include a selection of small ‘fun fact’ books, Huw Richards’ Game for Hooligans, an array of books from the Good, the Bad, the Rugby podcast, and at least a starting XV’s worth of autobiographies from recently retired male players. If you’re lucky, you may find Maggie Alphonsi’s autobiography Winning the Fight, or if you’re really lucky, Scrum Queens by Ali Donnelly.
