DUBLIN, March 18 (Reuters) - Ireland completed their fourth Six Nations Grand Slam with a 29-16 victory over England at a pulsating Aviva Stadium on Saturday, emphatically underlining their status as the world's top-ranked team heading into September's World Cup. The script could not have been better prepared - a chance to seal a first Grand Slam in Dublin on St Patrick's Day weekend - and Ireland delivered, although it was nervier than they would have liked against an England side reduced to 14 men for the entire second half. England were within one point of an upset with 20 minutes to go but late tries from Robbie Henshaw, Rob Herring and a second for man of the match Dan Sheehan made sure of Ireland's 15th championship and fifth since 2009. "You couldn't make it up, it's like living in a dream. We didn't play our best but bloody hell, what a team. What a group of coaches," Ireland captain Johnny Sexton, playing in his final Six Nations game, said in a pitchside interview. "To come here and get a win on St Patrick's weekend, it's unbelievable. What a day." Andy Farrell's side were well worthy of the clean sweep, having won every game by 13 points or more, averaged four ties per outing and ending 2022 winners France's 14-game unbeaten run along the way in the game of the championship. The coach praised his entire squad for how they dealt with adversity from losing some key men to injury - five in last week's win against Scotland alone - to grinding out a win when they nee...

In each of their previous meetings since 1988, the two neighbouring countries have played out stalemates,. Ireland were last to hold the bragging rights after Ray Houghton headed the Boys In Green to a famous victory against Sir Bobby Robson's England in Stuttgart in the group stages of Euro '88. Ireland have stepped in for this friendly after England's originally planned friendly against New Zealand was scuppered by coronavirus restrictions. The game should provide decent preparation for the Three Lions ahead of their vital Nations League clashes with Belgium and Iceland as well as serving as an opportunity to put their disappointing defeat to Denmark behind them. The match could see seventeen-year-old Jude Bellingham become England's third-youngest player, with Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope expected to start in place of Jordan Pickford for the home side. The hastily arranged friendly presents Ireland boss Stephen Kenny with the opportunity to claim his first victory since taking charge.
