From the founding of Ireland's first national team in 1875, to the Grand Slam winners of today, 150 years later, rugby writer Peter Bills journeys around Ireland to discover what makes Irish rugby the force that it is. Along the way he meets the men and women within whom the great spirit of Irish rugby resides, from the 50-year servant of a small local club out in the wilds of Connemara, to the coach who discovered one of Ireland's greatest ever rugby men down in Munster and the official who has filled just about every role imaginable in his local club, from player to coach, club President to groundsman.
