Advantages: Only serious offering on the market

Disadvantages: Late coverage; poor for lower divisions.

I agree with other opinions which state that Rugby World is the only serious magazine for the rugby fan. I take it regularly through delivery from the newsagent. It has a lot of good qualities. Good pictures and overall print and presentation quality. There is plenty in it with some good articles. However, I think it used to be better before it changed its format. I would like to see more of a focus on British rugby and less on southern hemisphere games. Better coverage of the lower divisions would not go amiss; there is a section for each geography but it is too little and lumps all levels together. They do this mad thing which a lot of magazines do - I had the September issue in July! What a joke! I wish they would stop it! Their coverage is more than a bit late to start with - any poor unsuspecting soul who bought the September issue in September would have a magazine some three months after its production! It has little competition so they can do what they like. Still the best available though!
