When it comes to battles with our old enemy England on the sporting field, we Irish really do like it when we get the better of them.
Whether it’s at Twickenham at the weekend — when Ireland steamrollered England for another famous rugby victory — or on a football field in Stuttgart all of 34 years ago, any win over our near neighbours makes it into legendary status here.
Given that Ireland has less than a tenth of the population of England, a win is always sweeter for our green-clad underdogs.
