I’ve just wandered through Temple Bar on my way from the office to Starbucks, to get some much needed coffee, to keep me going for the remainder of the afternoon. Temple Bar is packed full of Italian Rugby fans, over here for the start of the Six Nations Rugby championship, which kicks off tomorrow with Ireland playing Italy.

Now, I’m a massive rugby fan, so, this is one of my favourite times of the year. It’s also a great time to be in Dublin, as, the city is relatively small, and when the away team supporters are in town, there’s always great craic and banter to be had. Admittedly, the Italians are not the biggest, or most boysterous travelling crowd, the real fun and games starts when the Scottish and Welsh are over, roll on the next 8 weeks!! :)
