This is the ultimate history of Irish rugby - told, definitively, by the men who have been there and done it.. From Jack Kyle's immortals to Brian O'Driscoll's golden generation, this is the story of Irish rugby told in the players' wordsCelebrated rugby writer Tom English embarks on a pilgrimage through the four provinces to reveal the fascinating and illuminating story of playing test rugby in the emerald green of Ireland - all the glory of victory, all the pain of defeat, and all the craic behind the scenes.But this is more than just a nostalgic look back through the years, it is a searing portrait of the effects of politics and religion on Irish sport, a story of great schisms and volatile divisions, but also as story of the profound unity, passionate friendships and the bonds of a brotherhood.With exclusive new interview material with a host of Ireland rugby greats, No Borders unveils the compelling truth of what it means to play for Ireland at Lansdowne Road, Croke Park and around the world
. A native son of Limerick, Tom English is an award-winning BBC Sport writer and broadcaster. He won Rugby Book of the Year at the 2011 British Sports Book Awards for The Grudge, his account of the 1990 Grand Slam showdown between Scotland and England, and is a co-author of the best-selling Behind The Lions: Playing Rugby for the British & Irish Lions. A former Irish rugby correspondent with the Sunday Times and chief sports writer with Scotland on Sunday, he was voted Scottish Sports Feature Writer of the Year six timesSorry to tell you I am very disappointed.. Rick Martin is a marine pilot who died in the middle of a mission. the book came blank. Okay, maybe there's a little of that, but it's not really the same. No one was there except Hodges' nutty duck, who started singing to him after he asked for some pancakes. But then, that's just my sense of humor.. That means the weeks start on Monday and end on Sunday. Great reference book.. I got this book just before going into my first rated chess tournament. This is the same book of nursery rhymes we had for our children. What's not to love? Ellen's clearly smitten with the guy, but she doesn't want anything to do with him because he's a complete stranger. nice color. Is there another book out there that makes things more clear for a newcomer?. Until all she thinks about is Henry and his mysterious ways. First the good part about this book. This book is written in snippets so it is very easy to pick up, read for a bit, and then pick up again later. The'No Borders is a wonderful distillation of the Irish rugby spirit' - Irish News; 'If you've been a fan for decades there's plenty of reminiscing in these stories and you're guaranteed to learn more and even if you've only found a love for the game on these shores in more recent times I can think of no better way to bring you up to speed' - Harpin' On Rugby
