A video captured by the Biden family shows Joe Biden calling the Irish rugby team to congratulate them on their victory over New Zealand. "Congratulations fellas," the US president tells the players through a phone, adding that he is "really proud" of them. President Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, home to a large Irish-American community including his mother, whose ancestors hailed from Ballina, County Mayo.
