Messages of congratulations began to pour in as Wales completed the Six Nations Grand Slam with a 25-7 victory over Ireland in Cardiff.
Gareth Anscombe kicked 20 points – six penalties and the conversion of centre Hadleigh Parkes' second-minute try – to sink Ireland in swirling rain under leaden skies on an afternoon when the visitors insisted the stadium roof remained open.
Here, we look at the Twitter reaction after coach Warren Gatland led his team to victory in his final Six Nations match in charge.
