Destabilized, the Irish tried to regain control of the match… but made tactical errors, allowing the XV de la Rose to win 23-22 in the final seconds!
A high-intensity clash that kept fans on the edge of their seats right to the end!
rugbyIt’s the end of the road for Ireland’s Grand Slam hopes. But all is not lost! The 15th of Shamrock still lead the competition with 16 points, closely followed by England on 12.
