Green is the new Black

-

It’s not easy to choose just one moment to represent the achievemen­t of the Irish rugby team in beating the All Blacks by 16 points to 9 on home soil in November. It could be Devin Toner’s brutal hit on Brodie Retallick in the 13th minute; or Peter O’mahony’s remarkable, try-saving steal in the

61st minute; or the nal whistle itself. We’ll plump for the 43rd minute of the game when Jacob Stockdale turned a training ground routine into a moment of magic for most of the 52,000 fans in the Aviva Stadium, and a viewing audience of 883,700.
