An Introduction to Ireland Rugby Shirt 1948 Grand Slam

Ireland Rugby Shirt 1948 Grand Slam. Our inspiration. The Ellis Rugby Rugby Shirt is inspired by the famous Ireland Rugby 1948 Grand Slam captained by Karl Mullen. And for one game by Ernest Strathdee.
Ireland won the first-ever Grand Slam on March 13, 1948. At Ravenhill Road, Belfast with a victory over Wales. Ireland won the tournament opener against France in Paris on New Year’s Day. Ireland defeated the French 13-6. Two of their tries came from debutants. These include Centre Paddy Reid and flanker Jim McCarthy.
Also, the third from goal-kicking winger Barney Mullan. Strangely, the selectors made five more changes for the following match, for instance. This was six weeks later at Twickenham. Also, among them was the axing of scrum-half and captain Ernie Strathdee. As a result, the Captaincy was given to hooker Karl Mullen.
Ireland won 11-10 at Twickenham. With two away wins secured, home victories over Scotland and Wales would give Ireland their best-ever season. Also, Scotland were seen off first 6-0 at Lansdowne Road, with tries from Jack Kyle and Barney Mullan.

        frequently asked questions

        How long does delivery take?

        Well, we’re not Amazon Prime, but we’re pretty quick! Standard UK delivery is typically 2-3 working days, depending on how fast the postie feels that day. But if you need it faster, we've got express options to get your rugby fix sorted in 1-2 working days. If you live on a faraway island or in a hobbit hole, give us a day or two extra.

        Can I track my order?

        Of course you can! Once we’ve packed your gear and it’s out the door, you’ll get a tracking number faster than a winger chasing a loose ball, in your Order Shipped email. Just click the link, and you'll know exactly when to camp by the letterbox

        Do you offer discounts or promo codes?

        Who doesn’t love a cheeky discount? Keep your eyes peeled for promotions – we drop them faster than a prop hitting the ruck. Sign up to our newsletter, and when we have one available, you’ll be the first to know. But no, we’re not giving you a discount code just because you asked nicely.

        Do you ship internationally?

        You bet! We’re happy to send our gear to your corner of the world. Whether you’re in Australia, France, or somewhere remote like Timbuktu, we’ll get it there. Just give us a little more time for the long haul – we can’t walk on water...yet
