Now we await the result from Twickenham.
Ireland had a mountain to climb heading into today’s game against Scotland, but boy did they deliver.
Joe Schmidt’s men needed to win by 21 points because of Wales’ huge win over Italy earlier, and they did that plus more.
The final score at Murrayfield was Scotland 10 Ireland 40, here’s the best reaction to a fantastic win.
We had a bull wan time that looked like Paul o Connell

Wales might just have done Ireland a big favour by posting a target which has pushed them on to maybe taking it out of England's range.

Let’s hope that France can stifle England in the next game and the Championship is ours.
