Latest posts by Will Matthews (see all)
The Irish are back.
After yesterday’s win over the old enemy, Ireland have now incredibly ended two world record 18-match winning sequences in the same season.
A try by Iain Henderson and eight points from Johnny Sexton were enough to give Ireland victory and deny England a 19th successive Test victory that would have eclipsed the record set by New Zealand last year.
Here are some of the best reactions to a memorable night in Dublin.
Christy Moore will have to write a song about the Lineout..

I asked Peter if he was tired, Peter said why? I said it's heavy work taking the wheels off a chariot #IrevEng

77 minutes gone and Ireland are leading England 13-9. They just need to hang on for another 23 minutes 🙈
