Ian Robertson at the Edinburgh International Book Festival
For over 40 years, Ian Robertson has been an instantly recognisable and eminently authoritative voice for rugby fans everywhere. His commentary has added to classic encounters such as the 2003 World Cup Final, when England triumphed at the death against hosts Australia, as well as livened up the dullest of fixtures. Hear all about his life and illustrious career, which he's written about in Rugby: Talking a Good Game. He talks to journalist Ruth Wishart in this event filmed live at the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
