this is an email I got about it
"100 Years of Rugby" which includes over 100 years of Irish Independent articles relating to rugby, specially bound in a beautiful leatherette cover and personalised with gold embossing. This includes reports from Ireland's first game against New Zealand in 1905 up to the Grand Slam campaign of 2009. This is a beautiful momento for serious fans. The price is EUR 120, plus EUR 8.50 and can be ordered online at www.memorablemoments.ie
pretty pricey but sounds deadly

Jesus H! What a freakin' ridiculous nonsense...just a race to the bottom i.e. the first book out will sell the most/corner the market. What is it?..a series of match reports culled from the papers, a few pics and relentless puff-pieces. It can''t possibly be anything more.

What perspective and insight can a book released two weeks after the event possibly have? Exhaustive research, careful cold light of day analysis and insightful interviews from players/coaching team...me arse!..avoid like the plague if you've got any sense,,,a cynical money making scam like most of these bloody things...

yeah maybe but out fast doesn't mean neceassarily crap - its basically just good pics from the championship -the other one with the articles actually looks cool - some of the best bits of entertainment I have had in any 6 nations or world cup has been reading some of the articles written in the papers not just the indo but especially Tom Humphreys

I think ill give this one a miss. Very quick to come ot alright . Although maybe it was written match by match. and would be out no matter if they won or lost just maybe if they lost would have had a different title.

This should make a great Birthday/Christmas present. One for the bookcase for years to come.
