Description
reland, the RBS 6 Nations Champions for only the second time in 29 long years … but it was well worth the wait. This is the Official Film featuring the action, drama and excitement from the most closely contested RBS 6 Nations for years, with Ireland winning an enthralling tournament in Paris to take the crown and give Brian O?Driscoll the perfect send-off to end his glittering career. After three dominant victories at the Aviva Stadium against Scotland, Wales and Italy, racking up 100 points in the process then a narrow defeat to England at Twickenham, the Irish needed to win in Paris for the long awaited glory. But with only one win in the Stade de France in the previous 42 years it was going to be a huge challenge. A win, any win for Ireland in the final match would be sufficient to lift the trophy. But the French, who had been misfiring throughout the RBS 6 Nations, had a new energy and purpose on home turf. With their best performance of the Championship, the French went toe-to-toe with the Irish and Les Blues went in at half-time leading 13-12. The second half saw the game really open up and a second try and penalty from Sexton gave the Irish a 22-13 lead, only to see a French try 20 minutes from time. In a nail-biting dramatic finale the Irish defence heroically held strong and firm to close out the game and ensure the boys in green completed an historic victory. A breath taking Championship and a fitting tribute to Ireland?s most celebrated player, Brian O?Driscoll.
