EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph from The Northcliffe Collection, taken at Lansdowne Road in Dublin during the Five Nations Championship match between Ireland and England in 1959, we find Andy Mulligan (wearing a dark shirt) in the midst of action. With a determined look on his face and a focused expression, Mulligan prepares to pass the ball to a teammate, as the crowd roars in anticipation. The scoreboard in the background reads "0-3" in favor of England, adding an extra layer of intensity to the moment. The Five Nations Championship, also known as the RBS Six Nations Championship in modern times, is an annual international rugby union competition involving the teams of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales. This particular match between Ireland and England took place on February 28, 1959, and marked a significant moment in the history of Irish rugby. Andy Mulligan, an accomplished rugby player, was a key figure in the Irish team during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Born on November 21, 1935, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Mulligan made his international debut for Ireland in 1957 and went on to represent his country in 23 tests. He was known for his strong ball-carrying abilities and his tenacious tackling, making him a valuable asset to the Irish team during this period. As Mulligan passes the ball in this photograph, he embodies the spirit of determination and resilience that defined Irish rugby during the Five Nations Championship of 1959. Despite the challenging circumstances, the team continued to fight on, striving for victory against their English rivals. This image serves as a testament to the enduring passion and commitment of rugby players, both past and present, and the rich history of the Five Nations Championship.
