(0:00) - Lovely family moments for the Irish players after landing the Grand Slam. Credit for the England defence.
(08:00) - “At no point did I feel that we weren’t going to win.” Ireland were drawn into an arm-wrestle with Englan’s kick-chase game.
(17:00) - Sexton knew how to keep the team moving forward. It was a comprehensive Grand Slam. Ireland’s tries conceded record shows their strength in defence.
(23:00) - Was Freddie Steward’s red card warranted?
(30:00) - Saturday felt as much about Johnny Sexton as it was about Ireland. His leadership has had a big impact on the teams he’s played for.
(40:00) - I wouldn’t discount Mack Hansen from winning player of the tournament. Andrew Porter has a remarkable work-rate. Sheehan’s great play in the loose. Teams have time to work out Ireland before the World Cup. New Zealand and South Africa always deliver at World Cup.
(50:00) - Farrell to coach the Lions in ‘25? Is Paul O’Connell a future Ireland head-coach? Is this the best Irish team ever?
