Lansdowne Road Stadium, the oldest stadium in the world, was at the centre of Irish sporting life since it opened in 1878 until it closed its doors in 2006 to undergo extensive renovation. As the doors open on the new Aviva Stadium, Lansdowne Through the years commemorates the best rugby played at the stadium in the past sixty years. Covering the visits of the All Blacks in 1963 & England in 1973, the triple Crown wins & World Cup losses, as well as the glory days for Munster, Ulster & Leinster, Edward Newman relives the great moments with the people who made them.
