Alas no joy for Johnston and Ambler for Ireland as Wales win comfortably 30-4 to take the European Championship . Time to put your feet up lads - well done .

I wouldn't call 24 -22 an hammering sounds like a close game, you Sheff don't half exaggerate.

If you win, it's a hammering. If you lose, it's a close game.

Ireland needed to win by 39 points to take the title. Which was actually one less than the target we narrowly missed last year.

Agonisingly, we fell just 65 short. Third again ........



World Cup Qualifiers next year.
