No I was not fifty foot up a tree trying to half inch eagle chuckies... I mean rugby. Not a major fan of the game but have been known on occasion to get hooked into the 6 nations and the whole fuss about Croke Park being used made it all the more interesting yesterday. Have to say the Irish fans were amazing. Not only did the vast majority treat the occasion with the correct positive "let's move on" attitude but they also created a wonderful atmosphere for a sporting occasion. If Eastlands had a fraction of that atmosphere I'd be a happy man. They thrashed the English team and thoroughly deserved to. In fact the English were as pish as the Scots who I witnessed woefully rolling over at home to Italy beforehand.
