Produced in conjunction with the Daily Mirror's extensive picture archive, these beautiful photographs give the book a unique insight into the passion and pain of Nation against Nation and the playing legends that formed the history of each country. Players like Wales' Gareth Edwards, England's Martin Johnson, Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll, Scotland's Gavin Hastings as well as Serge Blanco of France and Italy's Massimo Giovanelli. This wonderful book captures forever all of their country's exploits as a fantastic pictorial record. Foreword by former British Lion Mike Burton.
