Johnathan Sexton being presented to the media in Paris this afternoon.

We don’t know what he is saying but it sounds beautiful.

Playing against England in Vichy, France, Ireland’s triple-crown winning Wheelchair7s side demonstrates the art of running the ball along the line before pouncing.

Not for the faint of heart.

For the weekend that’s nearly in it.

March 19, 2000.

Ireland is gorging on foreign direct investment, near full employment and mounds of cocaine flown in by private jet.

A nation turned its lonely, puffy eyes to Paris.

Where a stocky tyke in a loose-fitting Irish jersey and tinted highlights entered the hairy cauldron of the Stade de France.

He was a very modest 21.

“I won’t say the French played poorly. We just hung in with them and emerged the better team on the day,”

To top off a great weekend Geri Halliwell’s ‘Bag it Up’ hit number one in the Irish charts.

Bon times.
