The Homecoming might have been cancelled but not even the weather could dampen the spirits come Sunday morning. France, Italy, Wales, Scotland and England all seen off by the Six Nations’ Pests from the West, the Grand Slam signed, sealed and delivered. “We had Christy Moore in on Monday, he was fantastic,” Joe Schmidt had told TV3’s Sinead Kissane. The feedback, you’d imagine, will be quite positive, not least for the youngsters who must now be of the view that international rugby is easy peasy. A special day, the Pests from the west of Europe leaving us snowed under with mighty fine memories.
