Sporting Witness - England at Croke Park
Download England at Croke Park
In 2007, England's rugby team played Ireland at Croke Park in Dublin for the first time. Croke Park was the scene of a massacre by British troops in 1920 during the Irish Revolution and is regarded by nationalists as the home of traditional Irish sports. After a tense build-up, the game ended with an emphatic Irish win. Robert Nicholson talks to Ireland winger Shane Horgan and England back Matthew Tait. The programme is a Whistledown Production.
