The Irish rugby world is celebrating historic back-to-back Six Nations victories after an emotional roller-coaster of a final day.

Our reporter Shaun Cronin was at the Ireland game and stayed back with thousands of other Irish fans to watch the England - France game play out on the big screen.

Fantastic gesture by the Scottish Rugby Union to let the Irish fans back into the stadium to watch the England game! @ScottishRugbyXV

With Ireland needing the visitors to keep within 26 points of England at Twickenham the crowd was behind France all the way.
