Six Nations: Ireland did their homework, beat Scotland and were crowned two-time champions. They won 17 to 13 in Dublin and retained the crown.
Italy, with Gonzalo Quesada as coach, beat Wales and condemned them to the wooden spoon. Ireland is the king of European rugby. Again. The Shamrock XV beat Scotland 17-13 in Dublin. It was pure relief at the Aviva Stadium after the agonizing defeat suffered last Saturday against England prevented the consecration that had been avoided and left him without the possibility of obtaining the Grand Slam again.
