Quote ="stroger"A new 350 page book on French rugby league, lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs, has been published.
"Still Crowing" covers all 62 matches from the golden years, 1951-1960, when stars like Puig-Aubert, Benausse, Dop, Merquey, Barthe and Bescos lit up the rugby league world.
For more information on the book and how to purchase, please visit whenthecockcrowed.com and follow the links. Happy reading!'"
I will give this a look. I really enjoyed "The Forbidden Game" by Mike Rylance which is all about how RL was the main code before WW2 and how Union went to the Nazi puppet government in Vichy and got the game banned and all the grounds given over to the 'amateur' game. If it's half as good a read as that I'm sure I will enjoy it
