As a young boy scout in Dublin in the 1970s, one of the highlights of the year was getting the opportunity to sell match programmes at Lansdowne Road for Ireland's Five Nations rugby fixtures. The main perk of the job was getting to watch the game pitch-side and seeing the legendary Maurice Ignatius ‘Moss' Keane on the charge for Ireland. Neither rain, biting cold nor defeat could tarnish the occasion.  Lansdowne Road Stadium was one of the oldest international rugby venues in the world, and it hosted two of Ireland's best-known and oldest rugby clubs, Lansdowne FC and Wanderers FC.
