Telegraph Sport 18 March 2023 11:12pm GMT Ireland mastered the hype and expectations to win the Six Nations and a historic first Grand Slam in Dublin by seeing off England 29-16 on Saturday.
The Irish came into the championship as the favourites and swept through it to underline its world No 1 status and make a huge statement six months out from the Rugby World Cup, where they
have never won a knockout match. A month after beating defending champions France at home, Ireland handled a game-but-inadequate England and took maximum points from a win and minimum four
tries at a packed-out Aviva Stadium. SIX NATIONS 2023 FIXTURES ROUND ONE _Saturday, February 4_ Wales 10 Ireland 34 England 23 Scotland 29 _Sunday, February 5_ Italy 24 France 29 ROUND TWO
