The red and the white

"No match in the annual Six Nations Championship is more charged or fervently awaited than England v Wales. Rugby journalist and historian Huw Richards has searched the archives, hunted down match reports and talked to players with memories stretching back for more than 60 years to build a picture of a rivalry which began with players changing in a public house and has grown to fill the giant stadiums of today. His history stretches from Henry Taylor's opening score for England in 1881 to Mike Phillips's match-winning try for Wales at Twickenham in 2008. It tells of great players and matches, and the people who watched them, of mudbaths, punch-ups, one-match wonders and stars who shone for a decade or more. It is the story of the men in the red and white, of the match that always matters."--Jacket.
