Ireland v Australia–November 26th 2016

It was the last game in the 2016 Autumn Internationals. Oh and yeah, Ireland bet the Aussies!

That’s Rory Best getting ready to win his 100th Cap for Ireland

Conor Murray setting things in motion…

And then they try to flatten poor Conor Murray!

Is that high?  I think that’s high, is it high???

Anyway, that’s a few photos from todays game, a game which meant that Ireland beat South Africa, New Zealand and Australia in 2016!  I think that qualifies as a good year for Ireland.

The 4 of Us at BAG

The 4 of Us… What can you say about them?  Well, they are Irish music legends. Anything else? Nope, there’s no need to!

So, when these guys are playing a tiny intimate gig 10 miles from your home, it’d be rude not to go along. So I did and off to BAG in Ballymore I went!

Wild Atlantic Way…

I headed to Strandhill in Sligo last week for a night out. It’s a beautiful part of the world, a tad chilly and wet in November, but it’s Ireland after all!

That’s the beautiful Knocknarea. You can’t see it there, but Medb's Cairn is on the top!

That’s the rather good Queen Bee there…

 

It was bloody freezing… These guys were mad!

 

 

Mad or dedicated!

 

 

That’s just the beach on Strandhill… Quiet, peaceful, cold!!!
