Croke Park this evening

Now don't get me wrong...I am an out and out English Rugby Fan. There is nothing like being at Twickenham and hearing the National Anthem. I love the game and particularly all that it stands for (which is the opposite of everything in English Football).. but I have to say that, despite SF trying to stir up anti English feeling all over again, the Rugby fans at Croke park were magnificent tonight. Their respect for the National Anthem and the English Team was exemplary. It was however a great shame that we were stuffed by what was a superior performance, man for man, from every single Irish player(Oh why didn't they stuff the french in the same way!) Congratulations to the Irish - A fine example of sportsmanship both by their spectators and their Players.
