What a match, what a match!
Onto the pitch they came,
The team in the Green Shirts,
The team in the White Shirts.
The whistle went,
The ball was kicked
And sailed into the air,
The match had started.
Those in green were undefeated,
Undefeated for twelve matches,
But that came to an end
When the whites came to Dublin.
They showed how to play the game,
Play the game with power,
Play the game with skill,
Play the game with a will to win.
And win they did
In a game of such magnificence.
Yes, England were the winners,
But the bigger winner was there as well,
The big winner was the game,
The game of Rugby Union.
