Ireland v England live: Six Nations results and reactions as Ireland seal the Grand Slam

“One of the best nights of our career. We spoke in front of our home fans this week about our chances of winning a Grand Slam in Dublin. It didn’t go well in the first half, but we persisted and eventually found a way.

It is also one of the most dominant Grand Slams in history. That’s not to say Ireland didn’t get tested, having survived tough matches against France, Scotland and England in the first half, and a bit of a scare against Italy, but the world’s best team will prove just that in these Six Nations. doing.

The Irish team hugged each other in the ecstasy of their Grand Slam victory, sharing big hugs and big smiles.

Dublin, get ready to celebrate. Rob Herring produced the widest smile when Irish he found England short of defenders on the blind side as the maul began to form.
