Jamie George hailed England’s last‑gasp victory over Ireland as a special day and a potential springboard to a rosier future. George said his team had been keen to respond to their disappointing loss to Scotland at Murrayfield and believes they have now issued an emphatic message to all those who doubted them.

“It is probably one of the most emotional and proud days of my career,” said George. “There were doubters after that Scotland performance, and probably rightly so, but internally we didn’t listen to the noise. For us to go out there and do that to a team like Ireland, who for me are the best team in the world, is a really special day.”
