You can't escape the Irish...

...even if they are Polish, like this one was.



Even at the Guinness Brewery, they didn't have barmen who pulled pints on the move, as he did...

And the wolfhound and the mascot were also Irish...*



(*You can decide which one is the real dog and which is the man dressed up...)

...and that's because London Irish were playing Leeds at the Madejski** Stadium in Reading.

(**You can also decide how you say that out loud...)

Now, I know nothing about rugby, but I'm a quick learner. Here we see a pass...



...a scrum...



...and a line out...



Another first for me as have never been to a rugby match before and much better than watching it all on the TV, although you could do that too...



...and that was the final score, so "Come on you IRISH!!!"
(as everyone was supposed to shout...)
