Shane Horgan's 78th-minute try secured Ireland their second Triple Crown in the space of three years as they snatched a dramatic victory over England at Twickenham.

It was Ireland's third consecutive win over the world champions and capped off a desperately disappointing RBS 6 Nations Championship for Andy Robinson's men.

After away defeats to Scotland and France, it was time for the Twickenham faithful to witness just how far their team have fallen since that memorable World Cup final night in Sydney in November 2003.

Andy Goode looked to have secured England an unlikely win when he struck an magnificent touchline penalty in the 74th minute to put England three points ahead.

But Horgan's late try, scored despite the best efforts of Lewis Moody, gave Ireland a win they fully deserved.

Ronan O'Gara grabbed a personal haul of 13 points as the masses of Irish supporters left Twickenham delighted on St Patrick's weekend.
