Reflecting on the Day
“Finally sitting down for some food and a beer with the guys after a very long but very rewarding day at Twickenham.
We didn't come away with the right result but we take away fantastic memories that will last a long long time.
To hear over 30,000 Irish fans cheer us on during our performance was nothing short of amazing.
Thanks so much to the RFU for the invitation and to all our fans and followers at home and around the world who were with is every step of the way today.
Very proud of our boys in Green.”
