My nerves are shot. I need to line down for quite some time.
Really emotional. It's the end of an era. Cannot believe we'll never see Gordon D'arcy's Beard in an Irish shirt again. :( #6nations

Realised potential is so rare in sport. Maybe Schmidt can finally bring it here. We can beat anyone like this. #COYBIG #FRAvIRE

My children have come to laugh at their father crying. Does anybody want two children? I'm adopting this team. #FravIre

Just got congratulated by my mother. I think she believes I'm personally responsible for this. I'll take it #6nationschampions

Immense credit to Joe Schmidt. What a coach! Right to single out Trimble, who most wouldn't have picked. Everything came good. Brillo!

Sport is often heartless on such occasions, but there was no fairy involved in this tale. BOD's victorious farewell a dreamlike event.

Just interviewed a delighted Peter O'Mahoney in the tunnel for the BBC. He used the word "Jaysus" three times. #EditTime #IrevsFra
