THE NEW issue of Rugby World is the perfect accompaniment to this month’s summer tours. Big names from the northern and southern hemispheres – Danny Care, Liam Williams, Andrew Trimble, Chris Cusiter, Israel Dagg and Felipe Contepomi among them – look ahead to the Test series, Stephen Jones analyses the major issues ahead for each of the home nations and we go back in time to recall a few comedy tales from tours gone by.

We also have a special report on South African rugby and head to Samoa to speak to the prime minister about the game there. Plus, in the 17^th edition of Rugby World’s unrivalled Champions section we pay tribute to all this season’s league winners.
