THE YEAR

This is a complete history of the Welsh rugby union team - told by the
players themselves.
Based on a combination of painstaking research into the early years of
the Wales team to interviews with a vast array of Test match players and
coaches from the Second World War to the present day, Ross Harries
delves to the very heart of what it means to play for Wales, painting a
unique and utterly compelling picture of the game in the only words that
can truly do so: the players' own.
Behind the Dragon lifts the lid on what it is to pull on the famous red
shirt - the trials and tribulations behind the scenes, the glory, the
drama and the honour on the field, and the heart-warming tales of
friendship and humour off it.
Absorbing and illuminating, this is the ultimate history of Welsh
rugby - told, definitively, by the men who have been there and done it.
