Ireland 20 England 14
Ireland defeated England for the first time since 1993 and in doing so, denied the 'auld enemy', like Wales in 1999 and Scotland in 2000, a Grand Slam.
England, however, are the 2001 Six Nations champions as they have a greater points difference than Ireland.
Ireland’s scores came from a wonderful first half try from the captain Keith Wood, three penalties from David Humphreys and two from Ronan O’Gara.
Ireland really took the game to the English and were the more dominant outfit for the first 60 minutes. They had to defend fiercely for the last 15 minutes and a try from Austin Healy with four minutes to go, gave the partisan Lansdowne Road crowd a nail biting finish as the realisation that a converted try for England would win the game, set in.
As wave after wave of white shirts charged for the Irish line, a tired, but immensely brave rearguard action by Ireland refused to yield the try England so desperately craved.
