Try hero Dan Sheehan lost for words after historic home Grand Slam success

Dan Sheehan was lost for words after Ireland secured a historic home Grand Slam success with a 29-16 victory over England at the Aviva Stadium.

The Leinster hooker was the star of the show as he scored a brace on a tense afternoon for Andy Farrell's men. After a slow start, Sheehan popped up with an extraordinary try off a set-play in the 33rd minute to settle Ireland's nerves and put them 8-6 ahead of England.

Despite being reduced to 14-men after Freddie Steward saw red late in the first half, England battled and made things difficult for Ireland.
