The Six Nations Championship is the biggest northern hemisphere Rugby championship each year.
Ireland won the 2009 championship a little over an hour ago.
And because they beat all the other five teams – Wales, Scotland, England, France and Italy – they also won what’s known as the Grand Slam.
And to boot – because they beat Wales, Scotland and England – i.e. the non-continental countries and original participants in the Championship, they won the Triple Crown.
But it was close. Today’s game against Wales was nail-biting to the end. I watched it in the pub with family and friends. A terrific atmosphere.
