Vignette-The Big Match

Interval over,the shamrocks,had their say Two tries blew the reds away- Fear of winning led to mistakes Until O'Gara's drop goal Lifted every Irish soul Memo: Ireland won the Rugby Grand slam yesterday 21st for the first time since 1948

A delightful read, even if I'm pretty clueless, too. I like the uplifting end and I see Mr. Kelly was happy about the outcome! Love, Robin

Nice summary of the game. I was glad the Irish won but they lost me a few quid because I bet on the Welsh.

I have no clue what this is about, I'm not sporty kind of gal (unless you count chasing 5 children around, trying to grab the thing they have that they are not supposed to have, sport!) but i, too loved the ending,love, Kristin
