“We regret to advise that the Grand Slam Homecoming celebrations has been cancelled due to adverse weather,” a statement said this morning.
“Irish Rugby would thank supporters for their continued support throughout this campaign.”
The event, due to take place at 4.30pm, was announced shortly after Ireland beat England 15-24 at Twickenham to record the country’s third ever Grand Slam and cap off a third Six Nations title in five years under head coach Schmidt.
