The fear five weeks ago was that Ireland would always have Paris. Come to be defined by it. Now they have this. Four wins on the bounce and a Triple Crown. And with an outside shot of a Six Nations title if England could get their act together at the Stade de France tonight.

It’s been an extraordinary swing by any standards.
