The best tweets and images from Ireland's Six Nations win
It's fair to say the past two days have been a rollercoaster of emotion.
From the euphoria of the first Irish try, to the nail-biting tension of the closing minutes, a nation watched as our boys in green fought their way through the French to become champions of the RBS Six Nations.
Before the match, tributes poured in for the man, the legend, Brian O'Driscoll who would be playing in the Ireland jersey for the last time.

Of course, it would be hard to beat Ryanair's tribute!
During the match, we were all on the edge of our seats. Some of us roared at the TV, some of us put our heads in our hands.
And then Ireland emerged victorious. The place went mad.

Not to be outdone, the Irish rugby WAG's decided whatever the team could do, they could do better. They answered Cian Healy's snap with one of their own.

After some emotional farewells, Gordon D'Arcy decided to let Johnny Sexton shave his beard... and Twitter went crazy.
