Ireland Women secure 6 Nations dream double

But whereas two other teams were in the hunt on Saturday, yesterday afternoon was all about Ireland who reached their victory target of 27 points shortly before half-time and kept their foot flat on the accelerator, adding six tries in the second period to the five they racked up in the first.
The Triple Crown was also secured with a hat-trick of tries from flying winger Alison Miller and two from flanker Claire Molloy, while skipper Niamh Briggs defied a knee injury to celebrate her 50th cap in style.
