Well, they did, because some things are pre-ordained. It was a brutal match of high class, with the crunches of the tackles picked up on various mics and broadcast. And no, they don't wear padding. 75,000 people were in the stadium to watch, with many millions outside, the countless angels in heaven singing, and probably St Patrick too, who I just learned was actually Welsh and kidnapped by Irish raiders at 16!
In many ways, it was like the time Haas played Stanford...
Y ddraig goch a ddyry gychwyn!
Almost like being in the stadium...
