Synopsis: Irish Rugby Player by Player is a compilation of the 50 greatest Irish rugby players in the sport’s history. Re-live the glorious careers of Jack Kyle and Brian O’Driscoll, examine Eric Elwood’s contribution to the game, and marvel at the genius of Simon Geoghegan and Keith Wood. Enjoy the careers of Irish stalwarts like Jeremy Davidson and Rory Best, and cast your mind back to the epic Lions tours that saw Tom Kiernan, Willie John McBride, Ollie Campbell (who writes a foreword for the book) and Mike Gibson become household names. The book also features the fans’ favourites including Tadhg Furlong, Peter Clohesy and Moss Keane as well as giving a nod to the future stars such as Jacob Stockdale who are part of a new generation who will surely dominate the game for years to come. Each entry lists the key facts, statistics and achievements that have helped the players join the game’s elite.
