IRELAND ARE SIX NATIONS CHAMPIONS

 

England was one try away from the six nations but Ireland has won it with their defensive strength. Ireland were the best team and thanks to Sean O Brian and Paul O  Connell they are 6 nations champions and you were able to watch their excitement as they came out in their suits and ties to a relatively full crowd to see them go mad as they won the title. This is the first time that Ireland have defended their title since the 1940s

SHOUT OUT TO THE WOMEN

 

I would like to give a shout out to the Ireland women who beat the Scotland women to win the women’s six nations and it seemed like when I watched it that Ireland were in a different class to Scotland.
