college sports in much of the US is very similar. Think it really just depends on which region you grow up in etc. See University of Tennessee students storming the field and ripping down the uprights then dumping them in the river after beating Alabama for an example.

I’m sorry Ireland got beat. I know how important this season was, and I’m sad for ya dear. But you and Alex have had some wonderful adventures together and those are times that will long be remembered. I’m so glad to see Alex is finally “letting his hair down” and having a bit of craic in these last several videos though. He is genuinely hilarious and you two are so made to be together. May God bless ya both always, and here’s hoping that Ireland brings it home next year. 💖

That veritable sea of green, all united in support of their team, is absolutely beautiful to see! I'm not much of a sports fan, but I am a huge fan of sports fans when they come together. The energy, the vibe, the anticipation, gives me goosebumps!

I'm the exact same but never could figure out how to put it into words. Although having said that, you explained it and put it into words perfectly. It's almost as if it's electric with all the positive energy and singing, energy, dancing, drinking, and just the overall atmosphere is absolutely amazing.

I’ve tried a few meal delivery companies and I think Hello Fresh is the best one. I’m glad they branched out over there and England so you can partner with them too. It makes life easier for sure.

I was at a wedding where about half the guests were Irish and everyone was checking the score regularly, but one guest just left the reception before dinner was over to watch the match and never came back

It’s weird being born Scottish from Irish parents, I always say I support Ireland in rugby and Scotland in football. It’s hard when they play each other no matter the sport, I’m always conflicted !

We have an office in Cork and I was telling the company they should be watching Rugby - the rascals are all NFL - Bah!! Being a Canuck our team didn’t qualify for the Men’s - but the Women’s is where it is at - all spirit as strong and touch as mama bears. Alas - terribly sorry about the loss - the match was epic.

I was also teared up, especially knowing this was Johnny Sextons last match. I wish him the very best and I might add, that was one hellova game!!!

I’m kind of excited… 30 days till VLOGMAS!!! Wanna see the full Irish Christmas Experience!!!

This feels like going to an american college football game

I am sorry you all lost but I am a big fan of new Zealand

Love your necklace Claire. To add, glad you and Alex had a lovely time watching the game in Paris, felt for ya when Ireland lost. Proud of you when cooking #HelloFresh.

I remember standing in a restaurant in Shannon when the Irish Rugby team walked in, possibly a college team. My son is 6ft 5 & 260 lbs but looked like a child compared to them!

As a South African, I wish we were playing you guys tomorrow because if it can't be us, I'd be ok if Ireland won the world cup! Hopefully next time 💪

Being crammed on the subway like that would be my actual nightmare.

They're singing "When You Say Nothing At All", it'll be great if they sang "My Lovely Horse".

That was a tough one for sure. Made me homesick hearing all the songs.

But you see - your country plays such fantastic rugby. I could tell you more names of Ireland players than any other team. I was spoiled watching Ronan O’Gara, Paul O’Connell, Keith Earls, Peter Stringer, the big tall O’Callahan fella, Brian O’Driscoll, Rob Carney, Leo Cullen, Cian Healy…. Such fantastic players. The match commentators for Ireland are top notch too - so I know you’ll be winning a Men’s World Cup soon.

Donncha O'Callaghan - that’s tallest great big grin I’d ever seen pop up and catch a line out. Then Devin Toner of course - I can never remember Peter O’Mahoney’s last name so I cheated and googled him. My former manager is from Cork so I’d ask him about Munster and then try and get his goat by asking if they’d beaten Leinster lately. I really gotta ask for an office transfer. Cheers - let’s see how the Ireland Women’s team do!

You and Alex have the best trips to play or watch sport ever! I just watched some InvictaFC MMA in Boston tonight and a girl from Dublin won a championship and earlier on a girl from Donegal had fight but lost...great night...but not as great as this video. Also, I thought was cool that you guys were on the street outside Corcoran's at least if not inside. I went to Paris in '06 and saw Man U vs Liverpool in that pub and it was packed to the rafters inside!

Another great video. When I heard the Rugby fans singing The Fields of Athenry, it made me think of a very strange experience I had on the New York City A train. I was headed home from work(it might have been a Friday). At one of the lower Manhattan stations about thirty lads get into the car. They must have all worked for the same company. I'm guessing financial workers. Every last one of them was dressed in khaki pants and shirts. Most of them were in their 20's or 30's. The train doors close and they all start singing Wonderwall by Oasis. They sung it the same way the Rugby fans were singing. I picked up an accent but couldn't be sure if it was British or Austrailian . I think I still have a copy of the video I took. The rest of the train didn't know what to make of it.

The AB's deserved that game the last phase was unbelievable

Your energy, even in defeat, is amazing! Thanks for the great video.

I would say it is gaining in popularity but still more niche, and more popular in the towns and cities than the country. GAA would be the culturally important sport that everyone grows up with all over the country.

As a non-fan outsider, I'm just bored that it's New Zealand vs. South Africa yet a-fucking-gain. At least other World Cups offer you upsets on the way to a victory, obvious or not (like Morocco's miracle run last year at the men's World Cup last year and the Women's World Cup this year, Germany going all the way at the Basketball World Cup this year over the likes of the USA and Spain, teams like Czechia getting historic results at the World Baseball Classic, etc). New Zealand vs. South Africa is the most obvious final match-up I could've guessed before a single game was played this time around, and sure enough... (If you haven't started following Australian football, I think you'd totally fuck with it. I'm from NYC so I'm even further distanced from it, but boy is it fun to watch.)

I totally get your frustration. However, please keep in mind that I need to make enough money to pay my bills and cover the costs of the content that I make. especially when road tripping around Ireland, doing tours and activists and staying in Airbnbs for videos - I can’t do all that off Patreon alone currently. I wish I could, but until I can I need to take some sponsorships. I turn down a lot of sponsorships for things that I don’t genuinely love, and this is something that I really do love and am more than happy to promote for that reason. Feel free to skip the segments if they’re not for you, but again please understand that I provide so much content for free but it certainly isn’t free to produce.
