Welsh invasion of Dublin in photos

Wales fans on the ferry to Ireland

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.

Wales fans in Dublin.

It's been a long weekend. An emotional weekend. Medz, Dan and Tom are unbowed. See you in Cardiff for the France game...
