Following the game, both Andy Farrell and Steve Borthwick addressed the media and brushed off the incident with laughter, as reflected in their statements below.
It made for great viewing yesterday, two teams going hell for leather at it and not letting up an inch on each other. Fair play to England they kept going right to the end and deserved the win. Ireland weren’t fully at it yesterday and it’s fair to. say the Irish media were a bit cock.
Big game next weekend, where Ireland will hope to still win the Six Nations.

How Ireland Might Secure the Championship Despite a Loss
Even if Ireland falls to Scotland, there’s still a path to the Championship. If they manage to secure a losing bonus point along with a try bonus point, they’ll reach 18 points, making it impossible for any other team to surpass them.
Alternatively, if Ireland loses to Scotland but England fails to secure a win against France, Ireland would be on at least 16 points, with England only able to reach 14 points with a draw.
Even with just one bonus point from their match against Scotland and England winning in France without a bonus point, Ireland would still edge ahead with 17 points, leaving England on 16. This scenario would mark a historic first for a team not winning the most games in the Six Nations yet clinching the championship.
