Rugby World’s 2018 summer tours special The 2018 summer tours are upon us and the new issue of Rugby World magazine is a celebration of all things North v South. Let the battle of the hemispheres commence! In the new edition we have exclusive interviews from both sides of the world as well as expert analysis and hard-hitting opinion. We also pay tribute to grass-roots league winners across the country. Here are a dozen reasons to pick up a copy of Rugby World’s July 2018 edition… Ireland: Cian Healy A few years back Ireland had a worrying prop shortage. Now they’re blessed with some of the world’s best – and Cian Healy is leading the charge. Tom English talks to Greg Feek, Mike Ross and Reggie Corrigan about the increase in front-row resources. Australia: The Wallabies scrum “I think the Wallaby pack is one to be reckoned with,” says prop Sekope Kepu. Australia have rarely had a highly-rated scrum, but is their poor reputation in the set-piece merited? RW’s Alan Dymock speaks to those in the know. South Africa: Handre Pollard Two years ago Handre Pollard feared he might lose his right arm after picking up an infection following surgery. Now he’s hoping to lead a Springboks resurgence against England. The fly-half tells us his remarkable story. England: Elliot Daly Wing, full-back, centre? Former England fly-half Stuart Barnes analyses what Elliot Daly’s best position is and where he should play against South Africa. Plus, the Wasp provides an insight into his team-mates. Argentina: Emiliano Boffelli “Everything I do is geared to the World Cup.” The Pumas wing made his Test debut a year ago and is now one of his team’s key players. He tells RW about his rugby journey and why he’s following in the stud marks of his brothers. Georgia: Milton Haig “As long as I’m coach, only Georgians will play for Georgia.” The Georgia coach talks about the importance of national identity and sets out the team’s goals for the tour to Fiji and Japan.
