Grand Slam Win For Ireland

Ireland beat Wales 17-15 in a pulsating contest in Cardiff to claim their first Grand Slam since 1948.

Ronan O’Gara knocked over a 77th minute drop-goal to edge Ireland back in front after Stephen Jones’ drop-goal moments earlier.

But even then there was time for more drama as Stephen Jones missed a penalty with the last kick of the match from just inside Ireland’s half.

Jones kicked all Wales’ points, while the Irish scored the only tries of the match early in the second half through skipper Brian O’Driscoll and Tommy Bowe.
