Irish sport - One of the greatest days ever

Many Irish people were not alive when Ireland first completed the grand slam in rugby by defeating Wales at Ravenhill, Beflast, in March 1948.

Wales later denied Ireland the grand slam at the final hurdle in Cardiff on two occasions.

In 1951, Ireland lost out by the narrowest possible margin when the game ended in a draw. But 40 years ago, in 1969, many people will remember that Wales packed more punch on the day.
