So, I have been lucky enough to follow Ireland's national rugby team in their search of a 6 Nations Rugby title. Each and every game just seems to get better and better. Last Saturday night, a brave group of us decided to venture into Dublin to watch the match between England and Ireland. Everyone and their brother, were there crowding the pubs, streets, and any sort of local transportation. It was crazy but incredibly fun none the less! We ended up watching the match at the Purty Kitchen in downtown Dublin. It was a very nice, new-age, pub and was covered in flat-screen tvs. The game was intense and Ireland pulled out with a victory. The final score was 14-13. I have to say that rugby is the most intense sport I have ever watched! It was an incredible feeling to be immersed in a culture where literally everyone stops what they're doing, and supports their team.
Here's a few shots from the game last Saturday that I pulled off the web. This is Brian O'Driscoll, the captain of Ireland's team. He's absolutely incredible. He took a few cheap hits from England and that almost ended the game for him but he somehow continued to keep playing.
I just thought this picture was awesome! This is Irelands kicker, Ronan O'Gara, taking a hard hit from England.
