I admit to being a coward where the REALLY important games are concerned. So I didn't tune-in my short-wave radio, and just tried to forget things. Okay, bit of background. I used to go to Ireland on business, and once told the blokes there this story. Years ago, as a callow youth, I made the mistake of saying that it would be great to beat England by 30 points. [In the days when a try was 3 points]. A gnarled old committee man told me I was very wrong--the best way to beat England was by a disputed penalty goal in the last minute of injury time. Preferably when they were in-line for the Triple Crown. Anyway, still not knowing the result, I went into work on Monday prepared for the worst. First e-mail on my computer was from a former captain of Cork Constitution.
"YOU REMEMBER THAT STORY YOU TOLD ABOUT THE BEST WAY TO BEAT ENGLAND?"--
