FFS. It's the first time in 61 years we've won the Grandslam. It's always the same when Ireland does well or wins something there's always someone who has to have a b*tch and moan about it :rolleyes:

They do say that it's a game played by men with odd-shaped balls.

You're obviously quite ignorant to the significance of this game? Do you even support Rugby?

Just as an aside for the people who actually care about this win (because there's too many @ssholes on AH at the moment who don't care about Irish Rubgy) head across to the Rubgy forum and have a sensible discussion minus the tards.

Exactly my feelings but then again I prefer football to rugby so I'll obviously say that as I am above being a fair weather fan. Fair play to the team for doing well but I'd trade it for a European championships
Real rugby fans that follow the team through good and bad, enjoy your celebrations!

Fair play to Ireland but don't blow it out of proportions.

Last 8 in the world of football is a greater achievement than winning some tournament in a sport played (competitively) by just a hanful of courtries, that is played every year, where you qualify automatically and which doesn't even have the 3 best teams in the world competing.

Again well done to Ireland. But winning a six nations / grandslam doesn't even come close to success / near success in a major football tournament.

The hairs are still standing on my arms......hands were shaking after the drop goal. Great win.

Also want to commend Stephen Jones, even in the aftermath of his miss he was gracious in defeat - a credit to his country. I hope I don't hear crap saying he was the losing of the game for them.....he kept them in it.

Let the party begin.

POC Ogara and driscoll were unreal. Bowe really played a blinder too. They were deserved winners. Heart near stopped a few times though, sure it wouldn't be irish rugby if it didnt!
