FOREWORD by former Ireland fly half Ollie Campbell’I was delighted, a few years ago, when Peter Bills agreed to write my autobiography. I have always admired his writing and his calm style of interviewing made it so easy for me to recall all my memories over the years.Triumphs, Trophies and Troubleshas got Irish rugby just right in this the 150th anniversary season of the IRFU’ Willie John McBride’In a world going all too fast, Peter Bills has the time, the wit and the attention to detail for stories that would otherwise be lost. His is an easy style, a remembering of times and values not just of the Saturday internationals past but of the grassroots members who keep rugby alive to this day.’ Keith WoodIn late 2024 Ireland, with a population of just 7 million people, stood at the top of rugby union’s world rankings.Ireland’s rise to such an exalted position has been the great triumph of rugby’s professional era. For a nation that fought tooth and nail to keep the game amateur, their progress since 2000 has been extraordinary. The trophies, once so rare in Irish rugby hands, have become almost commonplace. Six Nations Championships, Triple Crowns, Millennium Trophies have all stood in the IRFU offices in Dublin.But that is the top tier of the game. What is the health of the sport at other levels all around Ireland? In this book award-winning international rugby writer Peter Bills seeks to take the pulse of the game at every level – schools, clubs, provinces – as well as the fast-expanding women’s game. For if rugby at grassroots level withers, the decline will affect everyone. And how can rugby learn to live side by side with the ubiquitous GAA?Featuring interviews with some legendary names of Irish rugby, such as Keith Wood, Willie John McBride, Tony Ward, Bill Mulcahy, Gordon D’Arcy, Trevor Ringland, Nigel Carr and Tommy Bowe, we also hear from men and women from junior and club rugby, at clubs like Dingle, Kinsale, Monkstown, Boyne, Westport, City of Derry, Donegal Town, Omagh and Oughterard. All of them are doing stirring work behind the scenes for their local clubs and communities as Bills goes in search of the soul of Irish rugby.
