'The stuff of dreams' - Johnny Sexton eyeing first home Grand Slam 

Sexton also has the opportunity to make some individual history on Saturday having drawn level on 557 points with Six Nations record holder Ronan O’Gara

Johnny Sexton believes leading Ireland to a Grand Slam on home soil with a win over England next Saturday would be “the stuff of dreams” but neither he nor Andy Farrell believe the task has been made any easier by the visitors’ record defeat to France at the weekend.

Ireland are just 80 minutes from a Guinness Six Nations clean sweep after Sunday’s 22-7 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield, a win that also ended Scottish hopes of a first Triple Crown since 1990.
