Welsh Rugby: What Went Wrong?
Seimon Williams
Y Lolfa, £9.99
THIS is a hard book to digest, for a lifelong fan of Welsh rugby.
It is almost 200 pages of tough love, a forensic examination of the tribulations and internecine bickering that has beset the glorious game in the country where rugby is a nation’s heartbeat.
Seimon Williams's book should be read by every official of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), past and present. If I had my way, it would be hurled at most of them. This account of a deepening crisis will demonstrate to any true supporter that, although our devotion may remain boundless, we can acknowledge the harsh realities here.
