Credit for the England defence. (08:00) - “At no point did I feel that we weren’t going to win.” Ireland were drawn into an arm-wrestle with Englan’s kick-chase game. (17:00) - Sexton knew how to keep the team moving forward. It was a comprehensive Grand Slam. Ireland’s tries conceded record shows their strength in defence. (23:00) - Was Freddie Steward’s red card warranted? (30:00) - Saturday felt as much about Johnny Sexton as it was about Ireland. His leadership has had a big impact on the teams he’s played for. (40:00) - I wouldn’t discount Mack Hansen from winning player of the tournament. Andrew Porter has a remarkable work-rate. Sheehan’s great play in the loose. Teams have time to work out Ireland before the World Cup. New Zealand and South Africa always deliver at World Cup. (50:00) - Farrell to coach the Lions in ‘25?
