Ireland clinched the Triple Crown with a convincing 26-5 bonus-point victory over Scotland in Dublin but missed out on the Six Nations title when France beat England in Paris later in the day.
Andy Farrell’s men threw down the gauntlet for grand slam-chasing France by moving three points clear at the top of the standings courtesy of tries from Dan Sheehan, Cian Healy, Josh Van Der Flier and Conor Murray.
