Meet the boys: (l-r) Charlie Bevan, Tom, Serevi the Sheep, Maddog and Teeth. Eyes are bright, hopes are high and the ferry from Holyhead has not left without us. The t-shirt actually belongs to Teeth, not Gavin Henson Progress to Dublin is delayed when a man called Square lies down on the luggage carousel at Dun Laoghaire and disappears from view behind a curtain of rubber strips The showy rosette - an essential part of any self-respecting fan's clothing on match day Although a home-made daffodil costume also does a very useful job. Not quite sure what that chap on the right has come as. Why the bum-bag? Saturday lunchtime, and the first glimpse of our final destination. Bearing in mind the antics on Friday night, maybe it should be re-named Croak Park A sight to stir the hardest of hearts - a stadium packed to the rafters, a perfect pitch and a Triple Crown showdown mere seconds away "What you coming as?" "A daffodil." "So am I." "And me." "And me." Bet the one in the middle feels left out Fast-forward several hours. The Triple Crown has been secured, the Grand Slam awaits and Dan, Bones and Medz prowl the streets of Temple Bar This man is called Dogger. Do not try this at home. No good can come of it. It's been a long weekend. An emotional weekend. Medz, Dan and Tom are unbowed. See you in Cardiff for the France game...
