When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and rarely has it got tougher than it did in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff yesterday. But this has been a good hunting ground for Irish rugby, and never happier than yesterday. Even Muhammad Ali in his pomp didn’t roll with so many punches as this Irish team yesterday against a French team intent on beating them into submission.
I can hardly remember a more exciting match or ever seeing an irish team play so fearlessly. As Keith Wood commented quite rightly on TV “The most extraordinary level of bravery I have ever seen,” Ireland thus beat France for the first time in four World Cup meetings.
