Find a Guy I met up a Tree in Landowne

Hi all,

So with the 6 nations starting again i was chatting to a few friends about it and we started talking about the days when we all used to go about 10 years ago, get smashed drunk and have a great time before babies and wives came along and wrecked it.

In the 2003 tournament Ireland played England for the Grand Slam, you couldnt get a ticket anywhere. I didn't get one. But a mate of mine did and had a great time rubbing it in my face - so, after a load of pints on the Saturday night in the old Gaeity nightclub, without a jacket i bought an early edition of the Sunday paper and headed towards Lansdowne. Eventually climbed the wall that runs along the river and while wondering what to do next I met another guy, complete stranger on the wall too - wondering what to do too. When we realized neither if us were security we decided to climb one of the trees that used to run along the back of the 2 training pitches.
We stayed up there untill 12 the next day - we saw the cops checking the grounds with sniffer dogs, the horseback guys headin off - saw the whole place coming to life on match day.
I was frozen and while the disabled cars parked around the outside of the pitches i took my chance and dropped down at a ladies feet while her boot was up. scared the daylights out of her but i asked if i could remain there for 2 minutes to see if security ran towards me i could be back up the tree and out of the grounds in 30 seconds - she offered me a sandwich the lovely lady.
No cops came so instead of sneaking around the outside car by car i just walked across the middle of the pitches in full view of everybody - heart pounding.

I met my mates in the Guinness tent, blue lips and sticks sticking out of my hair - we did the usual 2 in 1 out of the old East Terrace so I got to see Martin Johnson act like a complete penis and hammer Ireland to win the Grand Slam.

What I wanted to know was what happened to the other guy up the tree??? Does anybody know who it might be? I got down before him and Ive no idea if he ever made it. I know it was a long time ago but its not something you forget easily - definitely the worst nights sleep ever.

Wouldnt it be great if we were in a similar position coming nito the last game this year.
Henry should be playing - Heaslip now has do all the work of the 7 and Wales have two 7s playing so will win every ruck and maul going. But unfortunately Kidney needs his Munster boys!

Anyway if your out there, thanks a million for the bag of crisps.

I'd say if you posted this on "The Aviva Stadium's" wall on facebook it would get liked and shared and go fairly viral fairly quickly. I've got access to a couple of club night accounts so I can defo get it shared, but its mainly a 19-23 demographic, probably a bit young for your man. Worth a shot though!
