		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m screaming my head off as Mark Jones runs over the line and destroys any vestigial French hopes of retrieving this game. Magnificent stuff. I&#8217;ll just stand up now, if you&#8217;ll excuse me. I have to stand in front of my television and applaud Warren Gatland&#8217;s tremendous achievement.Ã‚Â  Who&#8217;d begrudge him?

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not that I want to diminish the achievements of England or France in any way. I don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s great that two northern hemisphere nations have gone forward to the semi-finals, and I cheered my head off for both of them. Well done England, and Allez les Bleus! It isn&#8217;t that. It&#8217;s just that I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well now.&#160; What do you say about that? France 25.&#160; Ireland 3. What the fuck do you say about that? You could say the referee was very harsh against Ireland, and you&#8217;d be right.&#160; He was. But 25-3?&#160; Ah no.&#160; He wasn&#8217;t harsh enough to account for that. You could say we were unlucky. Yes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. Fuck. Fuck fuck! Fuck. Fuck it. Evrything goes back to that afternoon in Croke Park when Clerc stole in for a late try, when Ireland should have closed the game out but, overcome by the occasion, faltered. Italy are no longer the push-over they used to be, mainly thanks to Pierre [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I nearly forgot to mention this little episode, consumed as I was with the Croke Park thing at the weekend. On Sunday morning before we headed off to Mulligan&#8217;s, Wrinkly Paddy produced a full greasy fried breakfast for me. There ya go, Bock. Line the stomach. Set you up for the day. He seemed a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[France have beaten Ireland and back here in Limerick, there&#8217;s a terrible air of dejection that will only lift when Munster beat Llanelli. I bumped into a friend of mine. His name isn&#8217;t important, so we&#8217;ll just call him Festy. Well, Festy, I greeted him. How&#8217;s things? Not great, he responded glumly. Yesterday was one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first worrying thing was when some official walked out onto the pitch and welcomed everyone to Lansdown- sorry &#8211; Croke Park! Oh noooo!!! Then the Artane Band came out, and with my razor-sharp observational skills, I noticed that they aren&#8217;t the Artane Boys&#8217; Band any more. Now, they have girls and other people with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jesus, said Wrinkly Paddy. This place is full of Northsiders. True, I replied, but imagine how they feel. Their streets are full of Southsiders, Culchies and filthy garlic-eating surrender-monkeys. God, he shuddered. Give me out that hip-flask quick. Not fifteen minutes earlier, we had abandoned the safe and familiar shabbiness of Mulligan&#8217;s in Poolbeg Street [...]]]></description>
