Twitter was abuzz yesterday as the Irish rugby team retained their Six Nations crown in dramatic circumstances.

England's failure to make up the score difference against France sparked wild celebrations in Edinburgh, where Ireland had earlier walloped Scotland, and right across the country.

Here's how some of our GAA stars reacted to the success:

Think we all owe that French man who kicked the ball out a good pint of Guinness...#6NationChamps
