Immediately after hammering Portugal 103-18 in the World Cup, they gave them a chance to even the score at soccer (they lost 3-1), and they all ended up drinking beer in the NZ dressing room afterwards. Now that’s sportsmanship!

There wasn’t a single chorus of “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” to be heard last week in Croke Park.

I wonder why?

The main road snakes through the mountains), and another one to get back (Irish Ferries allowed me to change to the Pembroke ferry on the way back), I’m back home in one piece. The brother set me up with a great seat at the match. I was near the half way line on the top deck of the stand. I, along with 50,000 of the most rabbid rugby fans it the world, witnessed our team finally break the Heineken Cup Jinx.

After the match Lievremont (Biarritz’s captain) said that we were the reason that Bobo was out of position when Stringer scored his try down the blind side of the scrum. The noise from the crowd was so intense that he couldn’t hear the scrum-half telling him to cover the gap! :-)

I’ll post again (including some more pictures from the game) once I get a good nights kip.

The D4 crew got annihilated and there were an awful lot of red shirts in the crowd for was was an away game. Estimates ranged from 70% – 80% of the crowd were from Munster (not bad for an away game). Now does anyone have a spare ticket for Cardiff? :-)

This is what a Munster away game looks like :-)
