It must be said that yesterday we faced a very poor Scotland side - its hard to be too exciting about this win. However it was a very confident and competent performance by the Irish team. In a little bit a mischief Geordan Murphy was named man of the match - he had been dropped the previous Tuesday but was called up when Girvan Dempsey got injured. Five tries are always the mark of an entertaining match. Patterson only had two penalty successes - that is a tribute to the Irish discipline and a stark contrast to the near debacle in Murrayfield last year.
England did us a favour by beating France. Wales were very convincing against Italy - all the things that we were not - but if we keep it tight and play with the confidence that we did against Scotland and France (second half) then we have nothing to fear.
That would leave us set for a triple crown decider in Twickenham - Mag and I are travelling over - it will be my first time in Twickenham - Wales first but it could be a great trip.
