Easterby focused on Wales, not potential Grand Slam 

The interim boss stifled talk of either a third title or a Grand Slam when the possibilities were put to him during his post-match press conference.

Simon Easterby moved to keep his Ireland squad’s feet on the ground after they became the last men standing with a shot at a Guinness Six Nations Grand Slam following a dominant win 32-18 over Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday.

Ireland lead the 2025 championship as the only remaining unbeaten team after round two following France’s shock defeat to England at Twickenham on Saturday and their success over the Scots, a victory that puts interim head coach Easterby’s side on course for the Triple Crown with a visit to winless Wales next up in Cardiff on February 22.
