Rugby yearbook published

The IRFU have published a new yearbook to mark what has been a memorable 12 months for Irish rugby.

The Triple Crown success and clean sweep of the autumn internationals by the Irish team ranks as probably the outstanding memory of 2005. The performances of the provinces in Europe and the Irish U21s in the World Cup also made it a year to remember.

The yearbook looks at the schools scene, the fortunes of the provinces and contains exclusive in-depth interviews with Irish players, club profiles, a review of the U21s and the development of the women’s game over the past year.
