MONDAY 30 NOVEMBER

IRELAND'S GRAND SLAM JOURNEY 2009
9.35pm

Never before seen on-field footage and reflective interviews with the Irish team and management following Ireland's glorious 6 Nations Championship win

Last March Ireland ended a 61 year wait for Grand Slam glory and landed their first RBS 6 Nations. RTÉ's cameras followed the drama unfolding from the low after the Autumn Internationals and throughout every second of action over the RBS 6 Nations tournament. The team talking candidly about the challenges they faced both on and off the pitch

We hear from Paul O'Connell, Brian O'Driscoll, Tommy Bowe, Ronan O'Gara, and many more of the players on the dedication required and emotions they experienced on every step of their Grand Slam journey.

Declan Kidney and his backroom team offer insight into the decisions and worries of management while Gerry Thornley and Conor O'Shea put this great achievement into perspective.

From the same team who made Reaching for Glory: Inside Irish Rugby '07, The Dubs and Brian Kerr documentaries Ireland's Grand Slam Journey 2009 offers never before seen on-field footage and reflective interviews with the Irish team and management.

I wonder is there any "fear of god" stuff on it?

AHH...a bit disappointing! I thought this was going to be a thread about going for back-to-back Grand Slams.

Brian O'Driscoll's Try

Wonderful try ...... strange how RTE put the date of the match as 30 February !!!

toomevara

Could we possibly e-mail RTE and tell them that 'defence' is spelled with a 'c' in this part of the world and not a bloody 's'....(sorry, it's the sub-editor in me, but slack, slack,slack...)

Seifer

They completely butchered the word "minutes" at one point too.
Overall I thought it was one of their better productions.
Really stirred up the emotions I felt during the Wales game.

Will this be put up on the RTE player? I missed it.

Its weird, I've seen ROG's drop goal re-played on tv and on youtube many times, but I have to say I got a bit emotional this time watching it. It was all to do with the build up I suppose.

I get the same reactions when watching the Munster H-Cup champions 2006 DVD and the song that is played when the ball is kicked out at the end of the game is too much.

This world cup thingy in 2011 can't come soon enough.

wow i had goosebumps watching it all again!! definitely something i'll remember in detail for ever!! it was great to see the shots of o'connell celebrating (going "bananas") after the game too!!

Damn right it was emotional, I was there.

chupacabra

Makes the decision of IRB player of the year that much harder to swallow when you see the absolute Herculean, Heroic and Inspirational efforts of the great man.

danthefan

Superb effort from RTE.

Jello

Yeah great stuff from RTE, really enjoyed it. Glad I have it recorded.

jumpguy

I thought it was great, was hilarious with ROG and his "How can you give away a penalty in the last two minutes?"

Thought at the start "Oh christ this is gonna be some cheesy ****e from RTE now!" with the flames in slow motion and all that...but the build up was great, and it really brought back the emotions from the Wales match, I had goosebumps! I nearly felt like closing my eyes watching Stephen Jones' final penalty again.

Great stuff from RTE.

Anyone know the name of the song played at the end when stephen jones is kicking the penalty? thought it was great

Was it "Eet" by Regina Specktor ?

I'm also trying to figure out some of the songs that were on it... but I knew that one alright...

niallon

Being shown again apparently for anyone that missed it http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/features/irelandsgrandslamjourney2009.html

Thought it was brilliant, I'm glad there was no insight into the changing room discussions and that, I'm pretty sure whatever the hell Kidney says to them at half time is some sort of "God speak" that if I heard by an average Joe non rugby international causes instant deafness!

Comment on one of the youtube videos above:

I emailed stupid RTE and guess what!
It will not be replayed on RTE player! Makes you wonder what the hell a TV licence if for....

Flippin' flip!

Barnica1

yeah thats it! thanks

dirrin

Does anyone know what the music was near the end of the program (not the end credits, just before that?

It was a piano piece and the Wales game had just ended and the team were celebrating on the pitch?

I know Radio Ballet by Eluvium was used at some point during the programme, that's quite a beautiful piano piece.

dirrin

The music is Radio Ballet by Eluvium!
Thank you Morf!

Just watched it there on Sky+ - fantastic! Brought up all the emotion for the Wales game again. Almost shouting at the TV again and everything. Loved them making fun of Heaslip's celebration before he grounded the ball against Scotland - POC "The day he doesn't ground it there'll be trouble" and Tommy Bowe "It's not football, there's no need for that" :P

Just like the last documentary "Inside Irish Rugby 2007", a brilliant programme with a fantastic musical score.

Looking for the song that's on during the Ireland v France bit, gonna be tricky with all the talking over it but there's french lyrics in there too

Heh, I love Sky+ and Google. That one is Coeur De Pirate - Comme Des Enfants

Looking for the one where Darcy scores the try against France. It's just a short piano piece so it could well be a custom one.

The music when Tommy Bowe scored his try after the break at the start of Ireland v Italy is another one I'd like to know the name of. It went on right through into the England game to the BOD try.

Morf got this one, it's Mono - Ashes in the Snow

There's just so much good music. The one that was on for the entire Ireland v Scotland segment, the epic buildup track for the second half of the Wales match right down to just before Ireland's last shot. The track for ROG's drop goal to put Ireland back in the lead.

It could very well make it's way onto RTE player after the 28th. If not somebody might cap it and upload it

Morf

Eluvium - Radio Ballet and Mono - Ashes In The Snow both feature in the programme somewhere.

Thanks Morf! Mono - Ashes in the Snow is the Ireland v Italy Tommy Bowe try one

I didn't write down where Radio Ballet plays because I'd got the name of the track

Morf

You're welcome.

They also like Explosions in the Sky in the sound dept. of RTE.

Still trying to find out what this one is... anyone got the name?

TouchingVirus

It was produced by ScreenScene who can be contacted at info@screenscene.ie - I suppose if a few of us email asking for a list of songs then they might be so nice and give us a Christmas present

Looking at the list it might be better to email Suzanne McKenzie who is in charge of Broadcast Documentaries at suzanne@screenscene.ie

Spore

*Bump*

Just a reminder that this is on tomorrow, RTE2 at 8 for anyone that missed it...

It's a Sigur Ros song off their latest album . . .

Sigur Rós/ Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust/Við Spilum Endalaust

castie

Haha that bit with rodge about "how I guy can give away a penalty with 2 minutes remaining" was gold.

IrishKev

Just watched it there on RTÉ2 at 8pm, what a programme really brought back the happy memories of the Grand Slam. I watched it the last time around a month asgo and I completely forgot to look up the song that was on when Stephen Jones missed the last minute kick, but I made sure not to forget this time Really great soundtrack and great programme overall, even though I'm not buying the DVD I really enjoyed it.
