Ireland stars stay quiet on the C-word

No Irish mis-steps as the Six Nations moves towards its final stages and certainly not a thought wandering to potential glory days ahead.

Unbeaten Ireland are taking things one cliché at a time and staying focused on their task ahead as the penultimate game at home to Scotland this Saturday looms larger.

Grand Slams can wait until after Saturday, once Ireland have made sure they are still in with a shot of their first clean sweep in the championship since 2009, but, for now, no one is taking anything for granted.
