The collective effort was studded with huge individual games. Cian Healy, Donnacha Ryan, Sean O'Brien and Peter O'Mahony (probably Ireland's player of the tournament) were outstanding as usual, while Jamie Heaslip was an inspiring leader. Paddy Jackson looked the part – landing a fine conversion and two 47 metre penalties – as again did Luke Marshall. Rob Kearney was back to his best too.

Liked this one from Des Cahill.

Ronaldo? No, Rob Kearney back when he played a real sport!

DanCarter @Dan Carter Yeah I've given it a go but think I'll stick to rugby

Think the lads may need the hurls in Rome tomorrow to beat the Italians

Sexton out for 4 to 6 weeks with foot injury, Jackson to start at 10 against Italy with Madigan on the bench. Looks like the injury was worse than first thought.

With injuries and the Lions there could be a fair few missing!

Jeez this version of Irelands Call is really getting the pulses racing!!

Unbelievable stuff in Rome...

Ireland have more wounded after that first half than after the Battle of Clontarf...

But Parisse after getting the bin and Jackson kicked the penalty 16 - 9

Still a chance...

Jackson with another penalty. Fair play to him .

seafoid · March 16, 2013, 04:26:38 PM

22-15

Defined by injuries, this season.
Sad note for BoD if this is his last match.

Unreal. Sweating just from watching it. Any NFL fan should be made watch this to see real physicality!

Tony Baloney · March 16, 2013, 06:42:11 PM

Smashed. Great

Zebo's flck was something else. We have that memory at least.

This six nations could possibly have been a blessing in the long run. Blooded a lot of new players and still a long way to go until the next World Cup!
