TWO GAMES AND two wins for Ireland, but Saturday’s win over the reigning champions was certainly the most impressive result of the Joe Schmidt era so far.
While France also put back-to-back wins together and England kept Scotland pointless, it was Ireland who were by far the best performers of the weekend.
