Tommy Bowe column: 'Emphatic Grand Slam triumph sets Ireland up for World Cup tilt'

It may not have been a vintage display, but when it came down to it, Ireland got the job done against England. And when there's a Grand Slam on the line, that's all that really matters.

It was great to be in Dublin on Saturday to see Andy Farrell's side put the finishing touches to a remarkable campaign that has cemented Ireland's place as the world's number one team.

There was a great atmosphere around the Aviva Stadium, and it's days like that when you see how the nation has been lifted by this team. Johnny Sexton has been key to that, and the Irish captain thankfully got the Six Nations send-off he deserved.
