As Halloween approaches, the Rugby Zombies are making a comeback in the most frightening village in Wales Aberscary.

The third book in the popular Rugby Zombies trilogy by Dan Anthony, The Last International , is published by Pont Books and with the rugby autumn internationals fast approaching, fans of the Welsh Rugby Zombies will be glad to hear that they are on fire to play

Since his recent glory against Aberscary and a hand-picked Invitation XV, Arwel is having problems with his self-image. His head is turned by sixth-former, Trish, who is eager to make a name for herself in the world of journalism.

Meanwhile, the Rugby Zombies still need to play a full international match to lift the ancient curse but Arwels makeover changes more than just his hairstyle. Can Martin, Glen and Beth make him see the error of his ways and help him lead the Welsh Rugby Zombies to victory one last time?
