" Ireland's Grand Slam in the Six Nations championship was the triumphant culmination of a decade of frustration for the members of the 'golden generation', brilliantly aided by a crop of young players who had long awaited their chance to crack the side. This book tells the story of the Grand Slam in the players' and coaches' own words. Based on exclusive interviews by Alan English with the members of the Ireland squad - O'Driscoll, O'Connell, O'Gara and the rest - Grand Slam is the complete story of how they did it. The victory over Wales was only the last in a series of thrilling, physicallly brutal, and nail-bitingly close matches in which the Irish confirmed their class and answered those who doubted their heart. the players and coaching staff talk about all the key moments in the five matches - the thriller against France, the win in Rome after a difficult first half, the one-pointer over England, the grinding victory at Murrayfield, and finally the extraordinarily intense Grand Slam clincher at the Millenium Stadium - as well as the crucial moments in the dressing room and on the training pitch. And they talk about how they raised themselves after poor performances in the World Cup and the Six Nations to this years glorious heights.   Lavishly illustrated with match photos by the Inpho team and by Billy Stickland's stunning and exclusive behind-the-scene shots, Grand Slam is the ultimate account of an achievment that brought joy to the nation."
