PIC: A priest is helping these three Irish guys in London get to Cardiff for the Ireland match

Well, holy God

Well, holy God.

Stephen O’Rourke, Brian Higgins and Darren O’Meara are three Irish guys living in London who managed to get their hands on tickets to Ireland v Argentina this week. Yes!

Because of the last minute nature of the situationm they decided to rent a car for the trip to Cardiff instead of getting a train, but it proved a lot more difficult than they predicted.

The problem was that they were no cheap rental cars available so the only ones left were luxury models that cost over £1,000. No thanks.

We’ll let Stephen tell the rest of the story:

“What do you end up doing when your Irish and stuck? Contact the local Irish priest.

“We met him at the church, had the chats and without much hassle he put us on his insurance and gave us his car for the trip tomorrow.

“What a legend! Here we are with our motor for the weekend.”

As Irish a story as it gets including the rugby, Irish fans and a priest!!!! ?This is me and the lads motor to Cardiff…
