Irish rugby




I do not understand the world's fascination with the game of soccer and I've never been a fan of the sport.  However, I do have an admiration for the sport of rugby.  These guys are TOUGH!  No pads, no rest, and no fake injuries...

On Saturday Ireland won the Grand Slam in the Six Nations (Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Italy) Championship by beating Wales 17-15.

Congratulations to Brian O'Driscoll,  Ronan O'Gara, and Paul O'Connell.  This is the first time Ireland has won the Grand Slam in 61 years!
