Ireland ruined England’s dream of claiming the Grand Slam in this year’s Six Nations tournament by hammering them 24 – 8 on Saturday evening. The Irish triumph included Brian O’Driscoll becoming the leading try-scorer of all time in the competition.
Wales fell to a similar defeat in France, 28 – 9, meaning that Martin Johnson’s men were crowned champions, although that appeared to barely be relevant as the England manager explained how everyone was “desperately disappointed” by being so outplayed on the final day.
In the other match, Scotland beat Italy 21 – 8 to give the losers the wooden spoon.
For England, the title was very much overshadowed by the highly-erratic and unpredictable nature of the performances, with many doubts remaining as the World Cup draws closer.
