England denied Grand Slam by brilliant Ireland

No amount of world records or consecutive wins could have prepared England for this visceral Irish onslaught as raw emotion ruined the visitors' Grand Slam party in Dublin.

Match Commentary

83'		Here's the match report as Ireland -- not for the first time in the last six months -- end their opposition's winning record at 18.
83'		Our man Tom has been there for every match. Stand by for his verdict, the match report and much more reaction from Dublin. Ireland have beaten England! Ireland 13-9 England. Ireland superb and deserve the victory. England are 18 and out. #6nations — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) March 18, 2017
83'		Peter O'Mahony named man of the match. A couple of massive plays, particularly that lineout steal late in the piece.
