Yesterday saw Ireland crowned Six Nations Champions for 2018, as they completed a historic third ever Grand Slam title.
The boys in green beat England 24-15 at a packed Twickenham Stadium on St Patrick’s Day, and Ireland’s favourite players celebrated long into the night.
With Captain Rory Best, along with number 15 Rob Kearney picking up a second Grand Slam in their careers, it was a memorable day for all involved.
Twitter was abuzz with throughout the enthralling game, and here’s the best reactions to Ireland’s win!
