Default (OT) Scotland at Ireland: A Rousing Rugby Match!

Congratulations to Scotland for their hard fought 23 - 20 victory!

"Afternoon all, Josh Gardner here and I'll be guiding you through the
second of this afternoon's Six Nations matches, Ireland v Scotland
from Croke Park. As ever you can get in touch with us via Twitter,
your thoughts are, of course, always welcome.

It's a familiar story for Ireland this afternoon, with the hope of a
Grand Slam gone, they must content themselves with the consolation
prize of a Triple Crown by beating the Scots today. Don't forget,
there's also the outside chance of retaining the championship, should
England pull off an upset at the Stade De France later on today.

That was a great post, I heard a soccer game outside the US once on
shortwave, must have been a pretty important game because I haven't
heard one since. The announcer definitely knows how to "paint the
picture" for the listener.
