RBS Six Nations 2009

Woot! Ireland have finally won the Grand Slam title again, after waiting 61 years. The final match, which was played against Wales in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, was a very tight match, Ireland winning just by the skin of their teeth. The score was 15-17 to Wales, 21 seconds to go, and Stephen Jones was taking a penalty from 76 feet. Luckily, the ball landed short, the referee blew the whistle, and the crowd (including most of Ireland with them) exploded into cheer. The Irish captain, Brian O’Driscoll, was named man of the match.
