Corn an Domhain sa Rugbaí
Tá an brú ar Phoblacht na hÉireann i gCorn an Domhain de réir alt ar Nós.ie
Éire i gCorn an Domhain: tá sé in am an beart a chur i gcrích
Seo an fhoireann Éireannach is fearr a d’imir riamh. Tá doimhneacht acu trasna na páirce agus tá cuid de na himreoirí is fearr ar domhan sa scuad. Tá sraith buaite acu sa Nua-Shéalainn. Tá siad ag teacht ó Chaithréim Mhór i gCraobh na Sé Náisiún i mbliana.
Is rud an-deacair é an brú a bhainistiú nuair atá na mílte duine ag scairteadh ort i staid. Ach beidh ar Éirinn an brú seo a smachtú agus a bheith ar a gcompord agus fios acu go bhfuil siad ar cheann de na roghanna chun an comórtas seo a bhuachan.
Tá deis ollmhór ag Éirinn an Corn Domhanda seo a thabhairt leo. Tá seans acu stair a chruthú. Níl aon rud fágtha anois ach an beart a chur i gcrích.
