DUBLIN : As Irish thoughts immediately turned to the World Cup after securing the Six Nations Grand Slam on Saturday, captain Johnny Sexton not for the first time brought up England's all-conquering team of two decades ago.
Ireland extended their current streak to 22 wins in 24 games with Saturday's defeat of England, a run that has also been littered with victories over the best of the northern and southern hemisphere, and a first series loss inflicted by any team on the All Blacks in New Zealand in 27 years. Sexton witnessed it first hand too as a teenage fan that year when England hammered Ireland 42-6 in a winner-takes-all Six Nations decider at the old Lansdowne Road stadium.
