 The
Priceless Gift: 125 Years of Welsh Rugby Captains
Welsh Rugby. Over 1,000 players have been capped by Wales, but
only a relatively small number have been given the honour of
leading their country. It is to these men, the heroes and sometimes
villains, that this book is dedicated. From James Bevan in 1881
through to Colin Charvis and Gareth Thomas at the beginning
of the twenty-first century, the role of captain has evolved
in tandem with both the game itself, and the much wider sociological
and technological developments that dominated the twentieth
century. Now, after 125 years of Welsh rugby, it is time to
try and put the record straight: "Who is the most successful
Welsh captain?" "Why have so many players only had
one opportunity to lead their country?" "Which position
has seen the most captains and, indeed, which the least?"
"Why were eight different captains chosen for eight consecutive
matches?"

 Lions
of Wales: A Celebration of Welsh Rugby Legends
Welsh Rugby. No nation has made a greater contribution to the
Lions than Wales. During almost half a century since the end
of the Second World War, they have truly provided the lion's
share not just of members of the supporting cast but also of
captains, coaches and managers. In addition, they have provided
some of the greatest players in the history of the game and
some of the most endearing, none more so than Harry Bowcott,
the oldest surviving Lion of all, who recalls in "Lions
of Wales" what it was like to tour New Zealand almost 70
years ago. The book recounts prodigious deeds and features unforgettable
characters, such as Bobby Windsor, hooker in the invincible
1974 team. He and many others, from J.P.R. Williams to Barry
John, Gareth Edwards to Phil Bennett, relive the epic matches
and point to the decisive moments in the history of the Lions.
This new edition of "Lions of Wales" has been fully
updated to include those Welsh players selected for the 2005
tour of New Zealand. It contains a complete reference section
detailing every Welsh Lion to have played for the most exclusive
of all touring teams since the first post-war expedition to
New Zealand in 1950 and is a must for rugby lovers of any generation.
