Ireland, not Wales, are now the main Celtic power of rugby (if we didn't know that already)

[QUOTE="Tooting Carmen, post: 1083194, member: 78546"] Despite coming second in this year's 6N, this tournament, combined with others in recent years, their form in the AIs (most notably against the All Blacks) and the success both at league and European level of their Provinces show once and for all that Ireland are undoubtedly the main Celtic power of rugby. Whatever doubt there was about it has now been resolved, and I think it was highly symbolic that this tournament was bookended with big wins over both Wales and Scotland with remarkably similar margins. Certainly, this is a remarkable turnaround from the amateur era, when Ireland were if anything the weakest of the three Celtic countries. [/QUOTE]
