In Pictures: Let’s hear it for the Ireland teams who DID beat England

Four outta five ain’t bad, I guess.

11/02/13 3,804 Views 5 Comments

OWEN FARRELL’S TWO fourth quarter penalties in the Aviva Stadium yesterday quashed a dream of ours here in TheScore.ie rugby shed.

We pictured a day when England teams would come across the sea – young men, women, amateurs and ex-pros alike – and get soundly beaten back out the gate.

The performance of Ireland’s women (who not only defeated their world-renowned English counterparts for the first time, but hammered them 25-0) made it all seem real on Saturday afternoon.

Then the rain started… so near, and yet so far.
