While there was hope ...

The Diary went out to photograph some Ireland fans during the early part of the game against Belgium. We got to The Spout, Bardons and McTernans while there was still no score, but while we were in Fallons the first Belgian score happened, and after that there was no point in taking any more.

... though we waited, in hope ...

As we post this, it's looking much more promising in the Ireland v South Africa rugby.

Update at 75 minutes, now not promising any more, but a great game.

Update shortly after, ah well.
