Yeah start was scrappy but it settled won into one heck of a game, one of the tries by Ireland was one heck of a try I tell you and (from previous experience) I bet the atmosphere at the Millennium stadium was electric throughout the game.
I envy you easterner's passion for your sport. I wish we had a bit more of that here in the states. Corporate ownership of everything just plain sucks! American atheletes don't seem to have the same passion and dedication that they used to.
