The definitive account of Ireland's first 'trophy' in 19 years.

The Full Bag of Chips Summary

The Full Bag of Chips: Ireland and the Triple Crown by Peter O'Reilly

'Once we beat England, the players knew they had the chance to be part ofsomething really special. They knew that when Scotland came to town, [the Triple Crown] was there for the taking. We'd be playing for the full bag of chips.' Eddie O' Sullivan

The definitive account of Ireland's first 'trophy' in 19 years, with analysis and anecdotes from the players and coaches, including the likes of Clive Woodward and Lawrence Dallaglio, on Ireland's historic victory over the world champions at Twickenham. O'Reilly also delves into the six previous Triple Crowns, revealing how, on the night of their decisive victory over Wales, three of the 1948 team spent a few hours under lock and key!

The Full Bag of Chips Reviews

'What makes the book such a fascinating insight is that, in the main, the story is told by those who experiences it first hand: the players and coaches themselves. A revealing behind-the-scenes analysis of the rigours and demands of an international rubby season. That the season in question just happens to be the one in which Ireland secured the Triple Crown, beating the World Champions on their home patch along the way, makes the story that much more enjoyable.' -- Newsletter * The Newsletter *
'A must read for fans of the Ireland rugby team and the game in general.' -- Sunday Life
'Fresh and fascinating insights into the six previous Triple Crowns, revealing how, on the night of their decisive victory over Wales, three f the 1948 team spent a few hours under lock and key!' -- In Dublin
'A taut, tightly-edited account of the season as O'Reilly, rugby correspondent of the Sunday Tribune, takes an anecdotal approach as opposed to writing a straightforward historical record. And it's all the more interesting a read for that.' -- Gerry Thornley - The Irish Times * The Irish Times *
'Opening with a scene-setting series of tales from Ireland's previous wins, it then goes through the 2004 campaign in four revealing and insightful episodes....' -- Ireland on Sunday * Ireland on Sunday *
'If the shelves were heaving with rugby books, you'd have to hunt fairly diligently to come across one that was better-researched or more lightly-written.' -- The Sunday Tribune * The Sunday Tribune *
'Accounts of successful campaigns can turn into a chronological struggle through facts and figures, but this well-written story brings the campaign to life. If you have even a passing interest in the game, this should be on your bookshelf.' -- Sunday Independent * The Sunday Independent *
