Unless you were living under a rock the past 24 hours, you might be aware that Ireland had a pretty amazing rugby match against France this weekend.

With the world watching, Ian Madigan was just one of the stand-out performers on the day and as the final whistle blew on a memorable and historic victory, it wasn’t just the star player who was a little emotional.

So imagine if you had three tickets to one of the biggest sporting moments of the year… and you lost them en route to the game.

While we watched scenes of the celebrations unfolding, one Irish couple proved themselves as the ultimate legends when they stumbled across the tickets in the fanzone at Millenium Stadium.

John Cullinan and his girlfriend Rachel found three tickets on the ground yesterday before the Ireland game and decided to use some arts & crafts to return the tickets to the rightful owner.

Tweeting a pic with the ticketholder’s name, the couple were able to track down the rightful owner:

Considering the end result, we hope he returned the favour with a few celebratory pints!
Legends.
