Dan Sheehan spelt out what it meant for Ireland's players to claim victory against Scotland to secure only an 11th Triple Crown for the country in the history of the championship.
Try-scorer Sheehan was superb in the 26-5 win at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon as Ireland secured a third bonus point win in as many games, and four out of five wins overall in this year's Six Nations.
"The Triple Crown is hugely special for the Irish people - it's something we hadn’t had for a long while and it’s great to have it back," said the 23-year-old.
"It’s great when the pack and backs are putting you on the front foot. It’s easy then and the whole team has worked well over the eight weeks of the Six Nations.
"There’s plenty more in us and to get to where we have with the performances, hopefully something more special is to come."
Leinster hooker Sheehan also paid tribute to the home crowd, smiling: "(They were) class.
"We always look forward to coming back to the Aviva. It’s always special and they give us a great rise for every occasion."
