The Irish rugby team celebrated the end of the Six Nations with a black tie gala in Rome, followed by festivities in Dublin. They won four out of five matches, securing the Triple Crown, despite an overall underwhelming tournament. Three veteran players, Peter O'Mahony, Conor Murray, and Cian Healy, were honored as they retired. The team faced criticism after a narrow win against Italy, with concerns about the performance of older players. Captain Caelan Doris highlighted the positives from the tournament, noting the team's achievements and the need for improvement. The celebrations continued late into the night at a pub owned by former players.
