IRELAND ARE GRAND SLAM CHAMPIONS!

IRELAND ARE GRAND SLAM CHAMPIONS!

Ireland's class of 2018 have joined teams of 1948 and 2009 by landing the Grand Slam.

Jacob Stockdale, C-J Stander and Garry Ringrose scored the tries as Joe Schmidt's side beat England by 24-points to 15 at Twickenham.

Stockdale became the first man to score seven tries in a single Six Nations season while it's Ireland's first victory at Twickenham since 2010.

It was a workmanlike performance from Ireland who controlled the game for long spells to record a famous win at the London venue.
