    Robbie Henshaw has got it...and was excellent,closely followed by Best,O' Mahoney and Murray.

    Alex Goode was superb with the ball he got for England.

    Our structure fell apart when Madigan replaced Sexton. Great win in the end.

    What a ****ing game! Exciting from start to finish. Brilliant game from Henshaw. We're still looking very difficult to beat...

    Fantastic win but loosing Sexton was bad. Madigan was a disaster when he came on. Let's hope sexton is ok.

    To be fair the drop to the second out half in Ireland is huge. Sexton is head and shoulders above every 10 in the NH.

    Some brilliant performances out there today, too many to mention, delighted for Henshaw. Ireland dominated, great to see

    Joubert was very hit and miss today. That decision against POM to give England the penalty for an elbow on the gorund was laughable. Just like the All Blacks in the WC final, he tried his best to let England back into the game.

    Fantastic effort, well done! Tactical masterclass delivered the game by 60 minutes, although I'll admit to a few nerves in the last 15.

    My 3 Irish players of the day

    1) Mike Ross. I've been promoting Moore, but Ross completely nullified Marler, who has been propping very well in the last 18 months. Take a bow Mike.
    2) Conor Murray. A tad too much kicking in the last 10 minutes, but otherwise a first-rate game.
    3) ROBBIE HENSHAW. Best defensive 12 in world rugby? (genuinely) Just excellent. Connacht fans bask in your reflected glory!

    I miss Ireland on days like these :( Think of me when u down your sweet-tasting pints...

    Edit: obviously not literally sweet-tasting, because that would be Budweiser, which is inexcusable, but you know what I mean...

    Just a question, why did England not get the try in the last minute?

    Thought Ireland got a away with a lot on deck, like England. Lots of clear outs from the side. Lot of leeway given.

    Just watching Paulie there it struck that that may be the last time we see the great man in a Six Nations game in Dublin. Whatever he is a fecking legend
