Reviews

The author has followed the fortunes of Welsh rugby as much as a fan as a journalist, and highlights of the book include conversations with celebrity fans, photgraphs from Hitts own scrapbook alongside professional photography and a few stories that prove that not everything that goes on tour always stay on tour! But Wales Play In Red is more than a sports book. As Hitt says, Writing about rugby is writing about Wales itself. Its red thread is woven into the fabric of our identity. Thats why I love writing about this . -- Gwasg Gomer
