Book Description
In October 1994, Red Walsh from the west coast of Ireland, British cavalry officer George Wilson-Fitzgerald, photographer Emma Tindal and author and journalist Charles Jacoby set off from London to drive to the Rugby World Cup in Africa.

It is an account of oddball, upper-class Englishmen and a diminutive Irish girl descending into the scorching remains of the former Empire, with only the World Cup as their beacon.
