FULL TIME TAKES

Cormac Mannion

Bizarrely we looked stretched out wide despite adding more pace in the backs. However, we.absolutely smashed Scotland up front. Really happy with how we’ve progressed over the last four weeks and we were missing so many players.

We looked far better coached today whereas Scotland lost their heads a few times

Louis Hoffman

Defence won us that game despite the score, almost nullified totally a great Scottish backline

Gavin Hegarty

When, in the history of any tournament, has each team come out happy?

France: winners

Ireland: good tournament and hugely improved after a disaster start. Triple crown

Scotland: retain Calcutta cup, 3/5 a good return

Italy: beat England for the first time. 2/5 a good return

England: salvaged a lot of pride in their loss to France and showed a turn

Wales: finished bottom but showed they are coming back to what world rugby needs

Just my Sunday morning thoughts!

Rugby was the real winner yesterday

Gerald Williamson

The Irish defense when under pressure from Scottish attacks performed exceptionally well. The subs bench made quite an impact particularly Darragh Murray’.

Bernie Cunningham

Ireland just a grt performance, Scotland just couldn’t handle Ireland in all aspects of the game today. COYBIG

Christy O’Connor

Brilliant performance, when will the Scots learn not to give us fuel before our games (Darcy Graham Ireland are there for the taking) 🤣
