From the founding of Irelands first national team in 1875, to the Grand Slam winners of today, 150 years later, acclaimed rugby writer Peter Bills journeys around Ireland to discover what makes Irish rugby the force that it is. Along the way he meets the men and women within whom the great spirit of Irish rugby resides, from the 50-year servant of a small local club out in the wilds of Connemara, to the coach who discovered one of Irelands greatest ever rugby men down in Munster and the official who has filled just about every role imaginable in his local club, from player to coach, club President to groundsman. Whether it be at the Armagh or Coalisland clubs in the north, or Skibbereen and Sundays Well in the south, Bills explores how rugby union in Ireland has overridden sectarianism and division to become the only sport played as a single nation and how Irelands rugby system, in which many great rugby-playing schools feature prominently, has always produced many outstanding, individual world class players. Featuring exclusive interviews with many greats of the Irish game, such as Willie John McBride, Brian ODriscoll, Paul OConnell, Keith Wood, Ronnie Dawson, Mike Gibson, Tony Ward, Ronan OGara, Peter OMahony, current national coach Andy Farrell and many more, Triumphs, Trophies and Troubles is a journey and a celebration, of a game and the people who have embraced it down the years. How they have lived their lives and how the game of rugby has been so integral a part of their souls.

In 2019, the English Premier League introduced the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), a way of using technology to review and correct the on-field referees decisions. Its been a disaster: players hate it, managers hate it, pundits line up to pour scorn on its decisions, and fans have coined the chant its not football any more to describe its effect on the game.Almost every other sport in the world has managed to integrate technology into its decision-making process. Why is football failing so badly? Is it a special case, or have the games authorities got something wrong? And what does the controversy about VAR tell us about the nature of authority, rationality and technology in the 21st century?

Ultrarunner Jen Scotney has achieved podium finishes in some of the UKs toughest races and now has her sights firmly set on the Pennine Way. In Running Through the Dark, Jen talks about her ambitions, not just to run the 268-mile Pennine Way but to take the record as the fastest woman to do so. But that didnt happen. Nothing went according to plan. The Jen the world knew was a successful lawyer and running coach all photoshoots and finish-line smiles but the truth was much darker. The real Jen Scotney, the one she hid from everybody, suffered with chronic fatigue, debilitating injuries, tragedy, grief and at times had a will so beaten down by setbacks that there just didnt seem any point in going on.But she did go on. Running Through the Dark is Jens account of her ultra-journey. Playing out on the moors of the Pennines, the fells of the Lake District and the mountains of Wales and Scotland, this is much more than a running book, it is a story about resilience, about never giving up, and about battling through the night and always believing that there will be a new dawn.
