Alone it Stands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alone It Stands is a play by John Breen that tells the story of the historic rugby match in 1978 at Thomond Park between Irish provincial side Munster and the New Zealand All Blacks.

A multitude of different stories interlink to convey the hype and, indeed, nervousness running up to and during the big match. Stories of birth, tragedy and building bonfires prevail, as the play charts the personal tales of various characters and their whereabouts on the momentous day.
