The rugby diaries of Carolyn Hitt combine the passion of a fan and the insight of a journalist. Her sports writing tells the story of Welsh rugby's peaks and troughs, its successes and scandals, its charismatic characters and its most memorable matches. The book documents a significant period in the history of Welsh rugby from the emergence of record try scorer Shane Williams in 1999 to the heart-stopping drama of the 2011 World Cup, and Shane's swansong against Australia. 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. That's why I love writing about this game so much."
