@M_H_Taylor @TheTLS Thanks for a thoughtful and serious review.

Literally massive sport - my review of a good book on Irish rugby in @TheTLS Blood and Thunder by Liam O’Callaghan | Book review | The TLS the-tls.co.uk/culture/sport/…

Since it's that time of the year, this new book from @liamoc81 is for me the sports' book of 2024. A social, cultural and political history of rugby in Ireland that is superbly researched and written.
