Description: Shows two elderly men at Limerick for the rugby game between New Zealand and Munster. One of them comments that he has got tickets for the 2038 game. Refers to the fact that in 1978 Munster beat the All Blacks 12 to 0 and in 2008 New Zealand beat Munster 18 to 16. Thus in another 30 years there should be an exciting match again. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
