Product Description
Irish rugby: it’s an epic tale of guts, grit and glory.
Its story is one of great moments – Grand Slams, Triple Crowns, Munster’s historic win over the All Blacks, European triumphs for Ulster and Leinster, Connacht’s day to drink from the cup of glory – as well as great players and unforgettable characters like Moss Keane, Willie Duggan, Willie John McBride, Keith Wood, Joy Neville and Johnny Sexton.
This official IRFU story of Irish rugby marks the union’s 150-year anniversary and considers the scaffolding that upholds Irish rugby today: the provinces, the clubs, the schools and the underage structure.
Featuring interviews with a who’s who of Irish rugby it shows that perhaps the greatest
service that Irish rugby has given the island over the last 150 years is to be a very rare unifying force.
Introduction by Paul O'Connell.
‘A highly entertaining tour through 150 years of epic rugby’ Rory Best
Lavishly illustrated with photographs from INPHO, Ireland’s largest and most successful
