Meet Irish Rugby Fan, Ziggy Stardust

Are you ready for 6 weeks of green plastic hats placed on the heads of sheep statues? The caption accompanying this photo from the New Zealand web site Scene reads:

Irish superfan Karl MacNally welcomes his country’s Rugby World Cup side to Queenstown. MacNally, 23, will be at Queenstown Airport at 3pm today when Ireland dot down for a week’s training. The bartender from Pog Mahones will then hit the road for Ireland’s pool games in New Plymouth, Auckland, Rotorua and Dunedin. “I’ll be in debt when I go home, but it will be worth it.”
