Global Results - 23 March

By Paul Dobson
Sunday 22 Mar 2009

There were big winners this weekend, especially Ireland  who won the Six Nations Cup, the Triple Crown and the Grand Slam – the first Grand Slam for the Irish since 1948.

France won the Under-20 Six Nations and, with a massive victory and a huge points’ difference, England’s Women won the Six Nations. Both France Under-20 and England Women lost a match.

In the European Challenge Cup Portugal took another step towards a direct flight to New Zealand in 2011 with a rare victory over Romania and that in Bucharest but Georgia top the log and Russia are handily placed. Romania may miss out on a World Cup for the first time.

The Coppa Italia also produced a champion in a close match.
