From the Back Cover:
The Five Nations Championship has been Rugby Union's premier tournament for most of the twentieth century. At its height the most popular rugby competition in the world, it has been the cause for pilgrimage by the game's followers each year to the five capitals - Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh, London and Paris. It has developed a unique atmosphere that was the envy of the Southern Hemisphere and its tradition has given the game a rich phraseology: grand slam, triple crown and wooden spoon have all entered the language and become evocative signifiers of this famous annual sporting event.
Now that the number of nations competing has become six, The Five Nations Story tells the tale of the tournament from the beginning in 1910 up to the tense finish of the 1999 competition. This includes Wales' golden decades, the rise of France, England's most recent domination and the unpredictable genius of Ireland and Scotland (the last champions). Much of this eighty-nine year history is about the talented players that have been involved, from Wavell Wakefield, Jack Kyle, Gareth Edwards, Lucien Mias and Andy Irvine to the stars of the present day such as Jeremy Guscott, Robert Howley, Keith Wood, Thomas Castaignhde and Gary Armstrong.
Written by David Hands, one of the country's leading rugby writers, this book is lavishly illustrated throughout and also contains a full statistical record. It is an essential read for anyone with an interest in international rugby.
