Sinossi
Munster's pursuit of rugby glory has been long, sometimes heartbreaking, but often inspiring. The seeds for their ascent into the pantheon of great teams were sown long before Munster's current success, built on a reputation as fearsome opponents to successive southern hemisphere touring teams. The victory over the All Blacks by 12 points to nil at Thomond Park on 21 October 1978 will forever be enshrined in the annals of the game but Munster threw down the gauntlet to other nations as well with a degree of success not always given due recognition. The scintillating victory over Bob Dwyer's Australia, then the world champions, in 1992 is a case in point.
The story begins with the recollections of Jim McCarthy, capped from 1948 to 1955 when Ireland won the Grand Slam, Triple Crown and Five Nations and the First Munster player to captain his country in 1954. Munster heroes Tom Kiernan, Noel Murphy, Moss Keane, Colin Tucker, Mick Galwey, Anthony Foley and Paul O'Connell, coaching and managerial staff take readers behind the scenes. Former champions and pundits contribute accounts of acclaimed performance against the superpowers of New Zealand, Australia and South Africa and of a riveting journey of discovery in Europe.
Lavishly illustrated with colour and black-and-white images, this is a must for all rugby fans. Relive the performances and the victories, including two European wins, that have helped bring Munster to the very top of the game in the northern hemisphere and earned them huge respect throughout the rugby world.
