Donal Lenihan: Coming through adversity will only strengthen Ireland and Easterby

Focus turns to Murrayfield after an impressive second-half performance against England.

CAMEO: Ireland's Dan Sheehan celebrates scoring their side's fourth try.

When referee Ben O'Keeffe blew the final whistle two minutes into injury time, it was difficult to know whether to laugh or cry. It was that kind of game. Five points in arrears at the break, having been well off the pace for the majority of the opening half, you would have bit your hand off at that stage for a win of any description.

When Jack Crowley nailed the touchline conversion of Dan Sheehan’s wondrous try, that second-half transformation and inevitable victory was feeling as good as some of the truly great wins over the old enemy dating back decades in this outstanding tournament.
