It remains the most iconic day in Irish rugby: March 21, 2009.
Ireland had not won a Grand Slam since 1948, when they had also beaten Wales in their final game of the tournament.
It was a strong Welsh side who had defeated Ireland the year before at Croke Park, and many believed they would do it again, especially in the cauldron of the Millenium Stadium.
But it was not to be for the home team, as Brian O'Driscoll led his charges to a famous 17-15 win.
But can you name the match-day 22?
Good luck!
