The Ireland Players Had A Ball Celebrating Their Grand Slam Triumph

For a host of the Ireland squad, this was their first taste of Six Nations and Grand Slam glory. It had been just over five years since Ireland won their third ever Grand Slam in Twickenham back in 2018 and since then, the squad has seen a big overhaul.

After dominating the international rugby scene for the past 12 months, which has seen this phenomenal group of players win a test series in New Zealand for the first time and beat the likes of Australia and South Africa before winning this year's Grand Slam, the Irish players certainly let their hair down yesterday evening.

After celebrating out on the pitch with their families, the party soon started inside the dressing rooms of the Aviva Stadium.

Peter O'Mahony shared this post earlier today which included some brilliant photos of him with his family after the historic win. The first photo is somewhat of an iconic snap, showing him and long-term Ireland teammate Johnny Sexton on a lap of honour of the Aviva pitch alongside his four children.

Jack Conan shared this picture to his Instagram last night alongside Ireland's centre pairing from Saturday's win. These three have certainly scrubbed up well considering the role all of them played during the tough battle against England.

Many players have yet to upload pictures to their social media pages yet and to say last night's celebrations were expected to be nothing less than wild, we will forgive them for not sharing them yet.
