Irish supporters arrive for French feast of rugby

ERNEST HEMINGWAY called it a ‘Moveable Feast’ and how right he was: Paris is truly one of the world’s great cities.

But when tied with rugby, Ireland certainly don’t like the city in the springtime — when they ritually get beaten by Les Bleus in the Six Nations. However, Les Verts might come to love it in the Fall — if they win tonight.

Will Gay Paree put the joie back in the lives of the bewildered Irish supporters, who have seen their team disappoint against minnows Namibia and Georgia, and in danger of being eliminated tonight?
