Rugby writer and journalist Brendan Fanning has published his new book 'Touching Distance: Irish Rugby's Battle with Great Expectations', which is now available to purchase.
It traces Ireland rugby's journey from the beginning of professionalism to becoming world number one, how they still haven't got past a World Cup quarter-final, and the pressure to deliver at the next tournament in 2027.
Brendan Fanning has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's William Davies.

'Touching Distance' is now available in all leading bookstores.
