Gareth Edwards looks at how rugby has evolved on the field, with ever higher levels of fitness and greater speed, but also asks if rule changes are depriving the game of some of its unique aspects. He questions whether the sport is losing touch with its heartlands and selling its soul. Talking to players past and present such as Keith Wood, Jason Little and Graham Price, he provides a portrait of the sport he loves. He deals with issues such as how rugby has coped with going professional and whether it could return to amateurism, whether the demands of television are destroying the sport, and much else besides.
