Clare Boy Stars As Mascot For Ireland V England Game

Ireland kicked off the defence of their Six Nations title with a hard-fought win over England in Dublin last weekend.
Steve Borthwick’s side put it up to Ireland and went in 10-5 up at the break.
Thankfully, Ireland made their superior quality count and ran in another three tries in the second half, to win the game by 27-22.
The game was a very memorable occasion for one young Ireland fan from Clare...and it wasn’t solely down to the result!
Rhys Tierney from Ennis was a mascot for the big match.
To find out more about this, Alan Morrissey was joined in-studio by Rhys Tierney and his mother, Nicola Tierney.
