    Brian O'Driscoll deserved this. If he retired tomorrow he would be the greatest player ever to come from this isle and there could be no disputing it.

    I second that. He has to get IRB player of the year. Considering Shane Williams got it last time and we completely embarassed him today. Has to be BOD. Who was better than him? Who?

    BOD is a shoe-in for Lion's captain now. POC not too far behind.

    Wasn't it announced that Paul O Connell is the Lions Captain?

    Jeesus lads, I thought my poor heart wouldn't last that out to the end - absolutely fantastic result, right down to the wire. I thought overall we well deserved it, even though the penalty count made it much harder on us. Fair dues to ROG for stepping up to the mark to take the drop kick at the end, can't help feeling for Stephen Jones, it was do or die for him and it just didn't have the legs.


    I think that Kidney's role in all of this must be acknowledged - he has given the team a sense of self-respect, belief and pride in the jersey and given them a mandate to play the game - all without the kind of counter-productive nonesense we witnessed this week from Gatland or the public frustration expressed by Martin Johnson. Let's hear it for the sixteenth man on the irish team, who now has an under19 World Cup, two European Championships and a grand slam in his first season as Irish Coach - the mark of the man is that his first response was to give credit to EOS and the other who went before him.

    The team has waited long enough to fulfil their potential, let's hope we can look forward to more such days.................

    G'WAN IRELAND ! ! !

    Close doesn't describe that second half!

    I work as a care assistant in a nursing home and couldn't get this afternoon off. I had control of a telly though. For the last twenty minutes there was smell of pee around me. I'm not sure if it was from me or the poor old dears I was undoubtedly neglecting!

    Yeah i must say he was very modest in that interview! He wouldnt budge an inch to take any credit. Was really nice of him to mention E O Sullivan, and everyone and anyone else who had a hand in bringing the team to where we are today.

    They should defo release this game on DVD.

    In years to come you could show someone that penalty and say: "Don't pretend you're hard. Be a man -- admit that you crapped yourself on this bit!"

    I actually ran out to the kitchen in a fit of depression at this point, i thought we were finished. After hearing screams of joy from the living room i ran in to see the ball fall short of the post! WOOT! Words cannot describe my happiness tonight!

    Lets get pi$$ed people!

    :pac:

    Excellent performance from the lads mangled wales out there today and the score didnt reflect the donimance of play. Kidney did a good job on tactics cutting off wales supply to the backline and putting o leary into scrum half.

    I thought POC and BOD were just immense today and ROG. Well what can you say about the man the welsh were giving him a good a battering today picking his channel as the weaklink in our defense but nothing brings him down. Excellent excution of what we are so used to.

    All in all a good day to be Irish!! Fair play to wales in making in a good game was high quality rugby at times.

    I remember 2007 in the dieing mins of the France v Scotland seeing Stringer and the Irish players inside the pub with the fans and 6nations almost won and then France got a try got on the last min OMG the disapointrment in their faces. I felt so sorry for the lads that day but we have come back from a bad world cup, a bad 2008 6nations and now quess what we are GRAND SLAM CHAMPS for 2009. I always believed that 2009 was our year and now here we are. Our country will go wild tonight and we deserve to and now im going getting drunk. Im proud to be Irish! ROG, BOD Strings POC and DOC ye have been Irelands heroes.

    Now this isn't going to be popular but I don't think O'Gara had his finest performance tonight. However, that makes his drop goal even more special. He was under serious pressure and his conifdence had to have taken a bit of a battering earlier in the day. So massive kudos to the man for taking that on!
