We were already feeling patriotic but our national pride has reached whole new levels after Ireland's amazing performance at the Aviva today.
Despite a last-minute upset when Jamie Heaslip sustained an injury during the warm-up, the boys charged forward and put an end to England's hopes of a Grand Slam.
From tense exchanges to the swell of the Fields Of Athenry in the stadium, it was an emotional day.
Here are some of the best tweets...
You try beating the Irish in Dublin the day after St Patrick's Day. Not a chance. Come on you boys in Green. ☘ #IrevEng #COYBIG

Has O'Mahoney played himself onto plane today? Been overshadowed by Stander all season but a tremendous performance at zero notice #IrevEng

#Ireland forwards made #England forwards look like men against immature boys. Total one sided domination. #IrevEng https://t.co/osw4LC0kkH
