Dear Grandma,

Today was a special day : it was the game between France and Ireland. You know that I am a huge fan of rugby so you can imagine how exited I was to see the match there and support my country ! With all the French people from the Erasmus team we drew some French flag on our checks and arms and went to see the match in a typical Irish pub of Dundalk.

In there, it was a funny situation. Indeed, we separate vicariously the pub in two parts. On one side you had the French supporters and on the other one you had the Irish ones. During all the match, people were screaming a
nd singing songs from our respective countries. The Irish supporters are very proud of there team, such as the French one.

The match between Ireland and France in Dublin pits two of the last three undefeated of this 2015 RBS 6 Nations Championship. A week after England and Wales, it is a second turning point in this competition. The reigning Irish title, last year's winner at the Stade de France, was presented as the favourite to retain his crown. And it could, because, as you probably know, we lost … 18 – 11 is the latest score.

Even if France did not win, it was a nice experience to live a match like this one surrounded by Irish people and with an atmosphere like that.

Maybe next time we will beat them !

Love,

Clémence
