Twenty years have pretty much elapsed since a very last-gasp drop goal gave England victory, 20-17, in the Rugby World Cup final, breaking the hearts of host nation, Australia.<\/p>\n

Former fly-half Jonny Wilkinson was the hero that day, and that game, alongside numerous others, are featured in a new book by Nottingham-based sports author, James Dixon.<\/p>\n

\u2018World in Union: A History of The Rugby World Cup in XV Matches\u2019 (Meyer & Meyer Sport<\/a>, August 2023) is exactly what it says on the cover, a potted history of the famed, Webb Ellis trophy in fifteen matches; beginning with the first final, coincidentally, the opening game of the tournament which begins this weekend, New Zealand against France.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was partly intentional, but I also think France versus New Zealand is what the World Cup is all about,\u201d began Dixon, currently residing in Southwell with his wife and two children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been numerous contests between them and, at the time, New Zealand needed to get the monkey off their back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a great rivalry, whereas say the All Backs and the Springboks, there\u2019s a fear factor there but, in this World Cup, I can see this one being both the opening, and the closing game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was also so much happening during the \u201880s, sportingly and politically, and in the late 80s, early 90s, it brought about changes in several sports (rugby with the World Cup, football with the Champions League).<\/p>\n

\u2018World in Union\u2019 for James Dixon, is his second offering in the world of sports literature, it coming two years after the May 2021 publication of what was seemingly a life\u2019s work, that being entitled \u2018The Fix: How the first Champions League was won.\u2019<\/p>\n

Now, for those that really know their football, the UEFA Champions League is the modern-day version of the old, European Cup competition, replacing it, rebranding, in the early 1990s, for the 1992-93 campaign.<\/p>\n

That was to be the season in which Olympique de Marseille defied the odds by not only getting to what was a second successive final, but daring to beat powerhouse, the then mighty AC Milan, 1-0 (Basile Boli header, 44 minutes), in the Olympiastadion, Munich.<\/p>\n

That stunning success, the only French club to have done so, was to be quickly overshadowed by the ensuing match-fixing scandal that followed, tarnishing the club, and any success they had during that period \u2013 hence the title, \u2018The Fix.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually pitched the idea for \u2018World in Union\u2019 around the time my first book was published, Dixon explained, looking back at his Champions League offering.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat took a good eight years or so to research and write, but it also helped to take away any doubts I had.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we had those early lockdowns, it helped me to push it over the line as it became a case of do it, or don\u2019t do it, and it provided myself with both the blueprint, and confidence, to move forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cPitching it though, that was difficult and I\u2019m grateful to Pitch Publishing<\/a> for taking a big chance on my as I\u2019d never done anything like this before.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor it (The Fix) to succeed, building a relationship with Jean-Jacques Eydelie (played 1984-2003) was key and I feel that he was unfortunate to have been caught up in all that happened then.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was grateful he granted me a lengthy, in-depth interview, and he came across as being balanced, even-handed, and had a calmness about him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe provided great insight from someone who was, very much, in the wrong place at the wrong time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now though, and with other things in the pipeline moving forward moving forward, you\u2019re always thinking of the next project whilst working on the current, James Dixon\u2019s \u2018World in Union\u2019 is timed to perfection for this late summer, early autumn World Cup; it\u2019s certainly a project he\u2019s enjoyed doing.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the small matter of a world rugby legend taking point with the foreword, 128 matches\/92 caps All Black icon, and former captain, Sean Fitzpatrick (played 1986-1997).<\/p>\n

\u201cI could have easily put 40-50 matches in the book, bit, for me, it\u2019s about advancing the narrative of the story itself,\u201d explained Dixon of his thought process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about the thrilling games, the big upsets; there\u2019s the four mandatory matches you have to have, the four pillars you have to have, then it\u2019s pick and choose from the rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I\u2019d chosen the fifteen matches, the rest was pretty easy; it was a fun process getting to talk to people first-hand, those that have played the game, heroes of mine, the likes of (Sean) Fitzpatrick, (Rory) Underwood, and (Pat) Lamb, to name a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fun, nice, and from a well-being perspective, it helps the creative process; rugby players though, they\u2019re easy to talk to, approachable, and the majority were more than willing to participate.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The foreword) I\u2019m completely grateful to Sean Fitzpatrick for doing that, although we did leave it quite close.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s four games in the book which he\u2019s included in, and he gave me so much.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s an incredibly patient and kind human being.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the World Cup itself, James Dixon certainly thought outside the box; \u201cI genuinely think Ireland can win the World Cup, despite them not getting past the quarter-finals (in previous attempts).<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they weren\u2019t \u2018Ireland\u2019 then they\u2019d be favourites.\u201d<\/p>\n
