I think in a final you need to try and play your best and we were searching for that X-factor performance. “I did [apologise] and it’s something that will hurt me for a long, long time. Owain Jones, editor of the XV, feels the problems are even bigger than just the head coach. Stephen Jones’ attack and Pivac in trouble.” We’ll come back in the summer and build on this.” “Being in the moment until the end is what has taken us to the win. So it wasn’t the complete competition. Not sure where they go from here.” “We had three good performances in this competition and two we weren’t proud of. But this was an unacceptable performance, which we must not let happen again. Crowley said: “I’m just really proud. Ireland then heaped the pressure on France with a convincing victory over Scotland in Dublin that sealed the Triple Crown and sent them to the top of the Six Nations table…

2022 Six Nations Team of Round Five - Rugby World (Rugby World)

There was plenty of drama and excitement, but who were the standout performers? Here former England and Lions fly-half Stuart Barnes picks his 'dream XV' from ...

He could well be Six Nations Player of the Season. The official Man of the Match, for what that’s worth. The man who scored the match-winning try (the kick was pretty much a formality) helped keep Italy in contention with some solid play and two magnificent long-range penalties. Alldritt was everywhere, as he has been all season. There was one take-and-give of which Sexton would have been proud. Also part of a beautifully balanced second row. The old man just keeps his team ticking, not to mention kicking. He lifts Ireland as Dan Biggar does Wales. He is a traditional openside in terms of his focus on the tackle and the breakdown but this is the season where his ball-carrying has developed; as has he, into one of the most effective sevens in the business. Well, I have been talking up that kid from Toulouse since he was an infant. Viliame Vakatawa will have to find his brilliant best form to regain a starting place for France. He blew Scotland away

While a 30-24 defeat in Paris ended Ireland's chances of the Grand Slam, Andy Farrell's side could still pip France to the championship although they need ...

There is also the scenario in which the French draw with England and Ireland beat Scotland without securing a try bonus point. The more simple scenario is that an Irish win and French defeat would give Ireland the title. They currently sit two points behind France but have a superior points difference (84 plays 56) and have been helped by comprehensive bonus point wins over Italy, Wales and England.

Conor Murray seals Ireland win over Scotland to claim triple crown (The Guardian)

Ireland defeated Scotland 26-5, with tries from Dan Sheehan, Cian Healy, Josh van der Flier and Conor Murray, though France later won the grand slam.

A penalty was sent to the corner, the lineout secured and, towards the end of the first quarter, Sheehan broke off the maul to force his way over the line. Cian Healy was the next to barge over for a try. That may be a crude summary – Ireland certainly know how to deploy sleight of hand when the situation demands – but when it comes to the close quarters in what people do love to refer to these days as the Red Zone, Ireland could resort to some brutal weapons. Over to the bludgeon. They had to wait till the death to register that fourth try, but no one was surprised when it came. But Ireland finished their Six Nations deliriously brandishing the triple crown in front of their euphoric faithful, as well as a fifth bonus point of five.

France's Grand Slam success does not just belong to the players, according to Fabien Galthié, it is a victory that belongs to French rugby as a whole.

He said: “With this Grand Slam, we follow in the footsteps of players and teams that won a lot and who inspire us. I know I am lucky to be part of a generation that is performing. When you are part of a dynamic like this, you don’t want it to stop.” There is of course a lot of joy. He said: “This Grand Slam is a victory for the 1900 clubs of French rugby. “We had not experience this sort of tight game, with so much riding on every phase, every decision.
