Champions baby.
What a feeling and what a game, it felt like it lasted for 80 hours not 80 minutes but finally, the Grand Slam is ours.
There was a few nervy bits towards the end when it looked like England were going to get over the line to bring the game back but thankfully, the Irish held out and Rory Best will lift the Six Nations and Triple Crown trophies with the added bonus of winning all five games in this year's championship.
The scenes are something else.
Winning the Grand Slam on Paddy's Day in Twickenham against the English is sweet but after what Eddie Jones said during the week, it makes it all the sweeter.
Grand Slam, pretty scummy alright...
Well well. Look at what our “scummy Irish” hands did there #EddieJones #SixNations #GrandSlam #Winners #ENGvIRE

So, the #scummy #irish hotwired the #English chariot and drove it to win the #GRANDSLAM - and on #StPaddysDay2018. All that’s missing is a new poem from Seamus Heaney #ENGvIRE

Beautiful Day by U2 is currently playing as the boys lift their trophies and it couldn't be more fitting. Congrats to the Irish Rugby team, there'll be some celebrations tonight.
