Based on exclusive interviews with players past and present, 'Behind the Thistle' gives a unique insight into the drama and emotion of representing Scotland in that most rarefied of environments - test match rugby. Drawing on first-hand interviews from a vast array of former and current players, from Russell Bruce and Frank Coutts in the 1940s, all the way through to the present day, the authors uncover the heart and soul of Scottish rugby, recounting the ecstasy of victory and the despair of defeat, drawing out innumerable humorous anecdotes and heart-warming memories.
