[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 865743, member: 70721"] I feel for you... seriously, I was at a mates place up in Angel in London have drinks and a barby and we had completely forgotten about the Irish game as we were catching up on old times and then my phone rang and it was my Irish mate Karl Higgins from Clairmorris in mayo, and he says, "Are you watching the telly?" I said no, why?" He said it's 20 minutes into the game and Ireland are 19-nil up against the AB's, I laughed at the scallywag because he's often up to mischief, and scoffed at the suggestion, so he says, "Turn the telly on you Kiwi plonker, hurry up, so I asked my mate Wozza to turn on his telly and he did and we stood there open mouthed for a few seconds, stunned by the result and the emerald whirlwind in action, and we exploded into action, kids and wives and sheilas OUT, beer and snacks in, crank up the volume and I said into the phone, "Thanks mate, appreciate the heads up, gotta go now, important work to attend to." He laughed. We sat down and watched the game unfold. Possibly the greatest game of rugby ever, certainly one of them. I watched it and I still don't know how we got out if that one. We definitely didn't deserve it. Irelands win in Chicago was overdue and it was celebrated in good style by Kiwis everywhere. Ireland are a serious top drawer top quality rugby country. Thanks for reminding me about that game. It was a cliff hanger. On the phone afterwards to a slightly downcast Higgy, I said, "Mate, I had a breakdown, a cardiac arrest and an orgasm all in about three minutes at the end there." Then I apologised for daylight robbery. [/QUOTE]
