Ireland and 'The Luck of the Irish'

Who has not heard that saying? Yesterday at Twickenham, UK, Ireland won the Triple Crown in the great sport of rugby – in the final 99 seconds by Shane Horgan.

I down tools to watch the game on Saturday. It was an amazing and nerve wrecking game throughout. Both sides took it in turn to lead the match and just when it looked like England were going to win, Brian O’Driscoll, in fighting spirit, make a break down the right, he passed to Shane Horgan who determinedly steaked to bring the ball just pass the line and into victory for Ireland.

Just brilliant!!

And this was after Ireland had won the Cheltenham's Triple Crown due to the brilliant ride by Conor O'Dwyer riding War of Attrition. The Gold Cup was presented to the trainer Mouse Morris and owner Michael O'Leary.

Irish horses came second and third as well.


What a great week for the Irish!
Oh! By the way, did I mention that I am Irish too!!
