Keith Wood declares Ireland "deliriously happy" with the result and hints at celebrations to come.

Which feels like an appropriate way to bring our coverage to a close.

Heady days under Joe Schmidt for the boys in green.

If they win against Wales in two weeks' time, their sights will very quickly switch from the Six Nations to the little gold fella up for grabs in the autumn.

Bye for now.

"Is this game a benchmark for the World Cup if these two teams met? I don't think so. England will be radically different in six months time. It's when you lose that you have to change.

"Ireland aren't even thinking about the World Cup at this stage because they've won and they're thinking about winning the championship."

Sir Clive Woodward
Former England coach on BBC One

"I hope England don't change the team too much because they're going in the right direction, but they'll have learned a lesson today. If you give away 13 penalties at this level you're going to get beaten."

So, indulge me here.

Let's say, Wales beat Ireland at the Millennium Stadium in a fortnight's time and England put away a winless Scotland side at Twickenham.

Eminently possible.

And if it does play out that way, then we will head into the final weekend with three sides at the top of the table - each with one defeat against their name.

This is what the final weekend looks like:

England captain Chris Robshaw: "We're very disappointed. We didn't get the result we wanted. Credit to the Irish, but we gave them their points too easily. At times we matched them, but the penalty count is an area for us to work on this week."

"England were outplayed and Ireland did everything much better. The defences on both sides were phenomenal but the initiative was with Ireland for about 65-70 minutes. England did pummel that Irish line for 10 minutes but without reward.

"Paul O'Connell was everywhere - amazing for a man of 35.

"This wasn't just a lucky performance from Ireland. They are a committed, well-prepared team and Joe Schmidt has masterminded it all and they deserve to be in pole position."

"The coaches have got a lot of thinking to do about how they approach the last two games and the World Cup. I don't think England should get too downhearted - put it down to experience watch it and learn from it."

Ireland coach Joe Schmidt: "After seeing them against Wales, we knew they were going to come back at us in the second half, but we dug deep and managed to keep them off our line.

"We do rely on our half backs a lot. They move us around in the right manner and find space. It's hard to quantify but it obviously gives us value.

"I'm a spectator on matchdays - the core leaders are out there on the pitch. We had that experience and it told. I'm learning off them as well as them off me."

England coach Stuart Lancaster: "In the first half we were masters of our own destiny. We played in the wrong areas at times and our discipline wasn't good enough and the timing of the try at the start of the second half was crucial.

"For us we need to understand where it went wrong and learn from it - we now need to focus on our two big games at home.

"We didn't nail some our our line-outs and there wasn't much to carry - it is hard to build an attaching game when you are taking high balls all the time."

Rugby World's Paul Williams on Twitter:, external "That's a very big win for Ireland. Not just the result. The manner of victory. Shutdown England totally. Joe Schmidt masterclass. That noise, ladies and gentleman, is the sound of the 6N Championship door swinging wide open."

"The tactics from Ireland today were spot on and the execution was superb. It is one thing to have a plan, it is another to execute it. England never fired a shot in attack - you would have expected more from the back line. The high kicks have become a feature of the Irish game and when you do it it with pinpoint accuracy, you have to have the players to do that and Ireland do."

Ireland tryscorer Robbie Henshaw speaking to BBC Sport: "It was good chance to use my Gaelic football skills and get it down. Johnny Sexton gives us confidence - he's a true leader and everyone's learning from him all the time. We're growing week on week and we can keep improving."

"This Ireland team really has the ability to give the strongest-ever showing at the World Cup, if everyone is fit but first they have to go to Wales who will be buoyed by their victory over France and they will be lying in wait. Wales have always fancied themselves against Ireland but Ireland are focussed and it will take a good Welsh performance to beat them."

Ireland captain Paul O'Connell speaking to BBC Sport: "Our first-half discipline was very good and in the first 20 mins of second half we played well. Our outside half kicked well. We sat back a bit which was disappointing but we have a hell of a lot of respect for this England team and we're delighted to win."

"Ireland have been simply too good today. It was a superhuman effort at the end. That is World Cup semi-final/final stuff - the accuracy and the tactics are well and good but you have to execute. I believe England shouldn't worry because any team would have struggled to beat Ireland today."

The Wales boys last night admitted that they were going to be cheering Ireland on today in the hope that they could beat Paul O'Connell's men in a fortnight to steal ahead in the race for the Six Nations.

That will be a humdinger of a match. Mark your diaries. Saturday 14 March. 14:30 GMT.

That win means that Ireland have equalled their record of successive Test successes with 10 straight victories.

Not a bad bit of work to put on Joe Schmidt's CV.

Phillip Matthews
Former Ireland captain on BBC One

"Ireland built on what they've done in the championship so far and did more of it. Their kicking game was accurate - at times there were inches in it but Ireland were good for the win."
