It was with a little trepidation that your truly ventured to the Aviva Stadium to support Ireland against the Grand Slam champions Wales, especially after the somewhat fortuitous win over Scotland. But Ireland, with Robbie Henshaw now in the starting line-up, were utterly convincing winners, the late bonus point making this victory all the sweeter. Hopefully Robbie’s injury will not prove too serious as he had been out-storming both Ciara and Wales and looked a real contender for the man of the match accolade. Congrats to all involved in securing a hat-trick of wins over the Principality at the weekend. Well done too to the Ireland Clubs squad, featuring recent Buccs duo Peter Claffey and John Sutton in their ranks, who completed a double over Scotland.
