Six Nations: Gibson-Park celebrates Ireland's Triple Crown

Ireland scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park was over the moon after his side's dominant 26-5 win against Scotland in the Six Nations.

The victory earned Ireland the Triple Crown after they previously defeated both England and Wales. It is the first time Ireland have beaten the other three home nations since 2018.

In a decisive showing, Ireland opened the contest with two converted tries in the first 28 minutes, opening up a 14-5 lead at half-time before adding two more tries in the run home.

Ireland's victory also put them in with a chance of winning the Championship, though they were relying on England to defeat France in Saturday's final game – a result that did not materialise as Les Bleus completed the Grand Slam with a 25-13 victory in Paris.

Gibson-Park was thrilled with the result in front of Ireland's adoring fans in Dublin.

"It's unbelievable, what a feeling to be back at home and back in front of our home fans and families," he said after helping Ireland claim their biggest Six Nations win over Scotland since 2015.

"What a moment to savour, back in front of our home fans and our families. We're chuffed man. We'll have a good night."

Touching on the Scottish opposition, Gibson-Park was complimentary, saying nothing came easy.

"We have had to work hard for everything we have gotten," he added.

"We knew it would be a tough game as it always is against Scotland, they're a proud team, and in fairness, they stuck in there today and made it very difficult for us.

"I like to think we have been fairly positive, I mean, there are always ways to get better, and we'll go away and have a look at ways we can improve, and then we come back together we'll have more to work on, I look forward to that."

Ireland's four tries against Scotland took their tally for the tournament to 24, their best ever figure in an edition of the Six Nations.

Gibson-Park set up one of those scores and finished with six try involvements (two tries, four assists) in the Championship, more than any other player.
