The international rugby who's who

Who is the All Blacks' most capped scrum half? What is the family connection between a Red Army soldier and a Bordeaux flanker?

Who's the only man to have played at first class level in three different professional sports?

All this and more in the International Rugby Who's Who, charting the biographical details of the top stars of world rugby, from the Zurich Premiership and Heineken European Cup to the Super 12; plus those who have recently retired.
