Elwood played championship in Castlebar alright. He famous contribution to the gane was missing an open goal and the ball nearly cut the umpire in 2.

It has to be Simon Geoghegan. Imagine what he would have been like if he had a few more decent players around him.
Of the current team it has to be Paul O' Connell.

The girlfriend loves Rob Kearney for some reason and she's not even into rugby!!

The bull..... the unsung hero of irish success might but dodgy in the scrum because of his hight but no better man to clean up a ruck and lift in a line out think o'connell said he actually throws him into the air and catches him on the way down. Close second is quinny, obiously a fellow tipp man but the no better player to get under the skin of the opposition he dosen't brake rules he just bends them a bit at times ;)

jailhouse and denzel, thanks for that info regarding Elwood, i learn something new every day! i had asked my older brother who's 31 about it a few nights ago but like me he was unsure - I would've only been 6 or 7 at the time - I'd say we might have the programme of that match somewhere at home, I kept them all down through the years - I'm terrible for hoarding old GAA/Soccer memorabilia!

Thanks again lads
