The Claw got a suspension the Mary’s lad a new ear.

In all fairness “the Claw” was an absolute pig of a man.

What did he do to the French that annoyed them so much? That was before I started “watching rugby” but I was at the age where I had just started reading the Sunday sports supplements so I knew that there was some big controversy there and Clohessy was despised in France.

Ah very good thanks

You’d want to be a bit of a psychopath to do that to another human being.

I saw him at the 2007 All ireland puffing away on a small type of cigar alongside a pair of Shams.Half time around the toilets,if I recall correctly.

He wasn’t particularly big but he had a look in his eye that you wouldn’t associate with many people for sure.A right dangerous,menacing looking fucker.

That was the last time Ireland played in the biennial graveyard of the Parc Des Princes in the Five Nations. My recollection is that we got a penalty try late on in that match to take the bare look off the scoreline (it went from 45-3 to 45-10). I think, I could be wrong, but I think it’s the only time we were ever awarded a try in a Five Nations match at the Parc Des Princes, 1974 being the first time Ireland played there.

Actually I’ve just checked it and Freddie McLennan got a try in 1980.

Still, two tries in 12 visits - only one scored by an Irishman - is some going.

Paris in the springtime sunshine, a boisterous home crowd, galic flair was always a receipe for a hammering for the Irish visitors.
