Synopsis

The Heineken Cup is the Holy Grail of European rugby. This intensely fought competition pits provincial clubs against European teams on an international stage where the finest sportsmen compete. But one rugby club more than any other has dominated the tournament since its beginnings.

This club and its legions of loyal fans have experienced both heartache and exhilaration in the quest to win the Heineken Cup. Now Munster Rugby is the pride of the Irish, the champions of the 2006 Heineken Cup.

Journalist and provincial rugby player Eoin Murphy examines the phenomenon of Munster Rugby, their history, and what makes the club truly unique. Featuring interviews with Mick Galwey, Tony Ward, George Hook, Jeremy Staunton and others, including pundits and die-hard fans, Murphy gives a unique insight into this special rugby club. From the impenetrable fortress of Thomond Park to the sealed dome of the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the book recounts the club's road to success and tries to uncover exactly what makes the club the phenomenon it is.

Munster Rugby: The Phenomenon is a must read for every rugby fan.
