The International Championship Season 1971/2 featuring today England v Ireland

Today's fixture at Twickenham presents another fascinating prospect as the jubilant Irishmen, fresh from their first victory in France for 20 years, are led yet again by the inspired captaincy of Tom Kiernan, who in this match achieves the amazing total of 50 caps.
Ireland take on the England XV who are still searching for the victory which will justify all their pre-match preparation.
The Irish need a victory to get themselves back on top of the championship with last week's winner, while the English will be fighting to get away from the bottom.

In 1891 an impoverished French priest, Berenger Sauniere, discovered four parchments containing a series of ciphered messages hidden beneath the altar of his church in the tiny village of Rennes-le-Chateau. These led him, apparently, to an incredible fortune. Had he found a great treasure? Did it even contain relics of the lost treasure of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem?
Chronicle tells the story of the clues that he left behind him, and examines some of the attempts that have been made to follow them up.
