Synopsis

Revised and Updated Second Edition

For almost 140 years the Welsh rugby team has battled proudly on the international stage.

Blending fun and facts with trivia and social history, this is Welsh rugby like you've never experienced it before. Brimming with delightful illustrations from Raluca Moldovan and irreverent humour, this book will fascinate young readers and curious adults alike.
