‘Powerful’ Irish Independent‘Superb … authentic and compelling’ Denis Walsh, Irish Times‘One of the greatest warriors this country has ever produced. It’s absolutely terrific.’ Brendan O’Connor, RTÉ Radio One–During a golden era of success for Irish rugby, Peter O’Mahony stood out as the player who most fully embodied the traditional values of the game. Now, in his autobiography, Peter gives us a brilliantly detailed and searching account of the forces that made him who he is: his parents, his beloved Granny Conroy, his club, his school, and the magnificent rugby pedigree of his province.

And he traces his evolution as a player, leader and human being across a decade and a half at the highest levels of the game, under coaches including Declan Kidney, Anthony Foley, Rassie Erasmus, Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell. As an international, Peter was central to Ireland’s greatest ever era. His account of the management methods of Schmidt and Farrell provides remarkable insight into how and why rugby teams succeed or fail.
