CHASKA, Minn. – European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke is adopting Irish rugby’s “shoulder to shoulder” theme as his team’s credo this week.
Clarke, born and raised in Northern Ireland, is also bringing in retired Irish Rugby great Paul O’Connell to speak to his team Tuesday night with that theme in mind.
The “shoulder to shoulder” concept is the theme to the song “Ireland’s Call,” which the Irish Rugby Football Union commissions for use at its games.
A sampling of the lyrics:
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall!
