We may not be in the big European finals, but two Irish teams did take part in the today’s game in Scotland, and it set Twitter buzzing.
The whole thing was a great advertisement for Irish rugby and, although not all sides of the country will be happy tonight, these tweets shows that it was a special day for many…

Every so often the human spirit peaks thru the cynicism of money, power, control. It’s a call of the heart. Connaught remind us.
