... or maybe everyone wants a piece of him now

Went with George Ford, thoroughly deserves it. :evil: JK, Robbie all the way!

Robbie has had a very good 6 nations. I never thought I'd see the day where a Connacht player would rank number 3 on Stephen Jones' players of the tournament.

Fine win for the women yesterday too. Excellent rugby weekend all round.

Deffo Done !

Done

Henshaw up for player of the 6 nations. One, two, you know what to do...

To be fair to France, they didn't care about who won the title, they just wanted to get another try

To be fair the only thought on the French minds at that time should have been: we are beaten, we are 5 metres from our own line, we have nothing to gain chasing another try and we risk letting Dylan Hartley get his hands on a 6 nations medal, they should have booted it over the stand!

I think it's hilarious that RTE were playing Hugh Cahill's ill-timed "Penalty France - Ireland are the Six Nations Champions" gaffe all evening on the news to illustrate our victory. Greatest attempted sporting jinx in history IMO

Have had enough bad days following Ireland to seriously appreciate this. Really thought after the 2007 world cup and following 6 nations that we would be a long time waiting for a championship. 2009 was relief mixed with a fair dollop of luck but to win back to back six nations takes some doing and all involved deserve the plaudits.

From the likes of Paul O'Connell and Sean O'Brien who battled back from long term injuries to the likes of Cian Healy and Luke Fitzgerald who have been through the mill as well. Robbie Henshaw and Jared Payne mightn't be the most glamorous centre partnership but they've been quietly effective. Was particularly delighted for Payne with a try today after getting a bit of flak after last week. Joe Scmidt's roll of honour is looking ever more impressive and today was encouraging for the fact we scored some fine tries and showed a different dimension to our game even against a poor Scottish side.

France will always drive you bananas but the last call to tap and go just took the biscuit. Mile a minute game, far too exciting from my viewpoint. Tough situation for Wales and Ireland today as all they could do was set a target. I feel we left a few out there against Scotland but to win by 30 in such circumstances was superb.

Great day and we move onto the World Cup with confidence. We won't win it but if we deliver there is nothing to stop us putting a real stamp on the tournament for the first time ever.

Well that was fun day
