Launched as rugby hits fever pitch for the 2023 World Cup, Remarkable Rugby Grounds is the perfect title for a literate and affluent armchair rugby market.Remarkable Rugby Grounds continues the blend of earlier 'Remarkables' by mixing some of the world's cathedrals of rugby with some of the quirky club grounds and local pitches set in beautiful locations.We travel 'Around the World in 80 pitches' with grounds in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Samoa, Japan, Alaska, Canada, South Africa, Argentina, Romania, along with the Six Nations venues.Apart from Aviva Stadium/Lansdowne Road in Dublin (which has a train running beneath the grandstand), the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Murrayfield and Twickenham, there are the genteel splendours of Bath's Recreation Ground nestling alongside the River Avon or the home of the Cornish Pirates, Mennaye Field in Penzance. The Pirates have one of the most remarkable fanbases, with the Cornish diaspora popping up at games all over the country with their familiar pirate roar.Featuring 80 of the world's most interesting rugby grounds, the book also delves a little into the history of the grounds by including a sprinkling of archive photos.Proposed rugby grounds from across the globe: Alaska, Brisbane, Central Coast (NSW), Canada, Mumbai, Cumbria, Sydney, rural Wales (5), Johannesburg, Romania (2), Auckland, Dunedin, Perth WA, Cape Town (3), Bordeaux, Paris (3), Cardiff, Japan (3), Chile, Colorado, Twickenham, Hong Kong, Durban, Buenos Aires, Dublin, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Melrose, Mull, Bath, Rotorua, Gloucester, Canterbury (NZ), Wellington, Sligo, Grenoble, Marseille, Mangatinoka (NZ), South Korea, Rugby School, Rome (2), Dubai, London, Wanaka (NZ), Las Vegas.
