Ireland claim Triple Crown honours!!

Shane Horgan’s 78th-minute try secured Ireland their second Triple Crown in the space of three years as they snatched a dramatic victory over England at Twickenham.

It was Ireland’s third consecutive win over the world champions and capped off a desperately disappointing RBS 6 Nations Championship for Andy Robinson’s men.

After away defeats to Scotland and France, it was time for the Twickenham faithful to witness just how far their team have fallen since that memorable World Cup final night in Sydney in November 2003.

Andy Goode looked to have secured England an unlikely win when he struck an magnificent touchline penalty in the 74th minute to put England three points ahead.

But Horgan’s late try, scored despite the best efforts of Lewis Moody, gave Ireland a win they fully deserved.

Ronan O’Gara grabbed a personal haul of 13 points as the masses of Irish supporters left Twickenham delighted on St Patrick’s weekend.

poor old England, they’ll never recover from this :smiley:

:party: :party:

It was touch and go for a while in the second half but we did it in some style by the end.

I have been wondering should I go out tonight for a drink…looks like I have to now. Just to stick it to the English boys down the local :wink:

Slan,

Wow!! The first Triple Crown since Yaz in 1967. No, wait, if they’ve gotten two in three years, it must be one of Secretariat’s sires. Oops, nope, only 3-year-olds are eligible for that. (I can hear the call at Belmont in March – Well, the track’s a bit icy with a new dusting of snow and a couple of frost heaves, which should favor Mad Dog Iree, who’s been training in Vermont all winter . . .)

Could somebody tell me how that one blonde woman in the back managed to stay clean while all the others look like nasty hogs?

She’s a bench warmer. :smiley:

/me googles “bench warmer” to see what it is…

There’s a sport played here, and it’s kind of like lacrosse, but it’s called Cherokee stickball. I think lacrosse is a modern form of the same game.

As for World Cup and all that, I think that’s soccer.

As they say, rugby players have leather balls.
