| #2 Its also one of the great single-handed kicking plays in Rugby. It is literally kicking the ball down-field as high and long as you can and they being able (unmolested) to run under it and catch it before the defender (receiving end) can. A little guy for the Irish national team, David Humphrey, was a master of it. [Miss my test Rugby]. |

| #1 "Garry Owen" is an Irish folk song. General Custer used it as his unit march tune: Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed But join with me, each jovial blade Come, drink and sing and lend your aid To help me with the chorus: Instead of spa, we'll drink brown ale And pay the reckoning on the nail; No man for debt shall go to jail From Garryowen in glory. |
