by John Scally
€ 19.99
ISBN: 9781786053268
‘The perfect present for rugby fans.' - Will Connors
'Will bring back great memories for rugby fans.' - Ian McKinley
This is a compelling compendium of the great players, characters and moments that have lit up Irish rugby from Jack Kyle to Andy Farrell. Based on exclusive interviews with a who's who of the game it offers a treasure trove of riveting revelations; amusing anecdotes; and illuminating insights into one of the country's favourite sports. From Grand Slams to Provincial Prizewinners it pulsates with gripping tales of the hottest controversies to the coolest customers that lift the lid of Irish rugby on and off the field.
It is a hymn of praise to the great characters of Irish rugby like Tom Clifford, Willie John McBride, Moss Keane, Willie Duggan, Keith Wood, Peter Clohessy, Mick Galwey, James Lowe and Mack Hansen.
Read about Tadhg Furlong's dreams; Joe Schmidt ge ing one up on Eddie Jones; the 10-year-old Irish girl who paved the way for women in rugby; when Tony O'Reilly discovered that silence is not golden; Linda Djougang's bravery; the star who had an out of body experience; Limerick's legends; the rugby player who said no to Charlie Haughey, the international who failed to impress Christy Moore; Ollie Campbell's evening out; the players who got stuck in a lift, Irish rugby's inspiration for poetry and Pat Spillane's unique take on Johnny Sexton.
If you were not a fan already you will be converted. With something for everyone it is the perfect present to unwrap the magic of Irish rugby. Comes with a license to entertain and scrums down with scores of amusing anecdotes.
No rugby fan should be without it.
