Given the travails experienced by the Murray family this past week, Conor showed immense fortitude and strength of character to even tog out today. Delighted for him and the whole squad! A fantastic performance.

Some game. Outstanding from Ireland. There can be no argument now about the No. 1 team in the world. Need to drive on now and continue to improve. ☘☘

Gavin Hegarty

My god.what a game. We just got a bp over the second best team in the world.

Let’s not mention the definite red card.

Every man in green (bar Hanson in my view) was utterly outstanding.

Tom O’Toole, my god where did that come from? Was worried about bealham before the Wales games now we have three class tightheads.

Chuck Doris, world’s best 8. Completely outplayed alldrit.

Lowe’s try, Mon dieu c’est magnifique.

Take a bow Ireland, you have wrecked me.

Koochulainn @Koochulainn So that’s the “bogey match” and the “defacto title decider” out of the way Bring on the “gimme” (which isnt what it used to be), the “potential banana skin”, and the “Auld enemy”.

Séamus Mac an tSábhaisigh @jamessavage French rugby fans affronted by selective tv replays …  #karma winning big games well but with clear room for improvement each time is a very exciting place to be.
