There is a reason we have called our new collector's edition the Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Competition and it is not just because the IRB made sure we couldn't actually call it something else. It really is the ultimate guide to a competition that will feature 20 teams and start on September 9. There is analysis of all 20 teams , full details of each venue and what you can do in each one and the usual irreverent run through of who to look out for and who really is a waste of space.There is also a brilliant blagger's guide so you can make yourself look knowledgeable in front of your mates , a focus on the referees and a celebration of the many Kiwis who will be involved because every other team has nicked some New Zealand players and coaches
