This official Welsh Rugby Union book is packed with exclusive, never-seen-before photographs following the Wales national squad players throughout their preparations, behind the scenes at every game and right up to the moment they lifted their third Grand Slam trophy in eight years. The pictures get right to the heart of what makes this side special and offer unprecedented access to the team as they established themselves as the leading nation in Northern Hemisphere rugby during a fantastic twelve month period. From the pre-tournament training camp in Poland and building on the momentum of a semi-final apprearance at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and the triumphant march to the Grand Slam is followed every step of the way. Experience again the drama of every match, beginning with the dramatic late win in Dublin, another exciting finish with England on the wrong side of the scoreline at Twickenham and ending with the victory over France at the Millennium Stadium which satiated a nation. As well as the match action, there are stunning images of the players in training and in all walks of life, relaxing away from the intensity of sporting combat.
Supporters also feature in this exclusive official book thanks to a special Scroll of Honour which is printed in the publication. Every player who figured in the tournament features on the scroll alongside fans, making it a unique record of the unrivalled pride and passion which helped Wales make rugby history in 2012.
