Revised and Updated Third Edition

For almost 140 years the Welsh rugby team has battled proudly on the international stage.

Full of tales of fighting clergymen, poisoned arrows and deathbed confessionals, James Stafford's An Illustrated History of Welsh Rugby takes a unique look at the games, the players, the legends and the myths behind Wales's national game.

Blending fun and facts with trivia and social history, this is Welsh rugby like you've never experienced it before. Brimming with delightful illustrations from Raluca Moldovan and irreverent humour, this book will fascinate young readers and curious adults alike.

James Stafford is the founder of cult rugby website The East Terrace. He has written on rugby for national newspapers, websites, match programmes and magazines in the UK and Ireland. He is author of the An Illustrated History of Rugby series from Polaris Publishing and also wrote the bestselling children’s book How Wales Beat the Mighty All Blacks.

In 2017, Stafford’s collection of short comics, 'The Sorrowful Putto of Prague' (Truchlivý amoret pražský), was published to critical acclaim in the Czech Republic – even drawing praise from Hollywood legend Samuel L. Jackson.

He lives in Prague.
