Scotland v Ireland, Croke Park
Scotland v Ireland, Croke Park
Dublin's Croke Park, is the home of gaelic games and the scene of the infamous massacre of 14 people by British "Black and Tan" forces more than 80 years ago.

The Irish rugby football team's home ground, Landsdowne Road is in the process of being demolished to make way for a larger, more modern arena. So in 2008 the game has been transferred to Croke Park, on the north side.

On this occasion a 34-13 victory to Ireland over Scotland, although Scotland DID score a try. Well done boys.
