Irish Rugby Miracle

Alone it Stands, a heart-warming and hilarious re-enactment of Irish club side Munsters’ defeat of the All Blacks in 1978, plays to its 100,000th person. “Beating the All Blacks is the ultimate dream of anyone who ever pulls on a rugby shirt, and here were guys like them – fellows with ordinary jobs who prepared for a game with a few pints the night before – beating this untouchable team”, relays playwright John Breen.
