Expert View - Ollie Campbell: ‘Just a Triple Crown away from a Grand Slam’

Ireland’s form this season is remarkable, we’re now 11 wins in a row, we’re number two in the world, already we’re champions with a game in hand so these are great days and we should embrace it for what it is.

We have won the championship but I’m sure the team and I’m certain the supporters to a man, woman, and child, don’t want to find themselves in the same position as did England just this time last year, taking receipt for the championship trophy but not being acclaimed for Triple Crown and Grand Slam wins alongside it.

If the same was to happen to Ireland it would surely be a bit of an anti-climax for the players because they’re no longer happy to settle for less than going through the season unbeaten. That’s what it is all about now; a Grand Slam and a sense of rugby immortality. We’re just a Triple Crown away from a Grand Slam!
