We dare your spine not to tingle during RTE’s immense Ireland vs Wales promo

Unreal

Patrick McCarry

“Drop at goal…. GRAND SLAM AT STAKE….. He’sssssssss GGGGOOOTTTTTTT IT!!!!!!”

RTE have gone above and beyond the beyond with a superb promo for Ireland’s Six Nations game against Wales under the Friday night lights.

The state broadcaster rarely disappoint when it comes to tingling every vertebrae of our Irish spines with their pre-match promos. Their latest offering is no different.

Harking back to past glories and heartaches against the men from Wales, a sweeping, dulcet narrative reminds us of the Irishmen that became Irish heroes in Cardiff.

If this doesn’t have you charging through walls, nothing will.

There is no Grand Slam to be won but Ireland are on the hunt for the championship and they are not planning a stop here
