Hickie: Ireland Grand Slam an 'incredible achievement'

Former wing Denis Hickie says Ireland's players have been individually fantastic after claiming the Grand Slam at Twickenham.

Ireland beat England 24-15 on St Patrick's Day to win only the third Grand Slam in their history.

Hickie said: "It's an incredible achievement for this team.

"Joe Schmidt has brought a team together, and he's just taken them up a level."

The defeat means that last year's champions, England, have now lost three Six Nations games for the first time since 2006.
