Reviews
'Takes the reader as close to the action as it is possible to get, short of invading the pitch' * The Scotsman * 'Really good reminiscences from hosts of Scottish rugby greats about a host of great Scotland rugby occasions. Weighty in all respects' -- Stephen Jones * Sunday Times * 'In turns comic, poignant, spine-tingling and occasionally tragic, its anecdotes provide a dressing-room keyhole for those of us who could only ever dream of getting there by any other means . . . a gem of a book' -- Alasdair Reid * Sunday Herald * 'This is a remarkable insight into what it means to play rugby for Scotland . . . For all those with a deep love of rugby, its contemporary sporting history and intriguing gossip this is an unmissable tome' -- Bill Lothian * Evening News * 'A fascinating new perspective brought to life in the players’ own words . . . a terrific read for any rugby fan' -- Alan Pearey * Rugby World *
