          From French rugby''s origins in Le Havre to the Catalan coast, acclaimed rugby writer Peter Bills travels the length and breadth of France, visiting the big cities and regional heartlands of the game, to reveal a country whose deep love of rugby has created a culture and playing style like no other.

          Featuring exclusive interviews with many of the greatest international players to have played club rugby in France, from Ronan O''Gara to Dan Carter, as well as French legends of the sport, from Serge Blanco and Jean-Pierre Rives to Antoine Dupont, Le Coq brings to life the passion, colour, excitement, characters, anecdotes, locations and great moments of French rugby''s near 150 years of existence.

          Former French Grand Slam captain Jacques Fouroux talked of ''Rugby; the game, the life''. This book will show you exactly what he meant.
