Riassunto:

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.
