James Lowe though

Form is temporary

Class is timeless

England look very ordinary when you play reasonably quick and accurate and can make it pay out wide

Lowe and Bob๐Ÿˆ again for me on the wing and Jack or Harry at 10 and JGP at 9 next week ... Same pack (unless Ports is available )

Were they though ? How many points on the board for that dominance?

If we're being honest

That's a very poor Ireland performance

Skills, handling so so bad

Sam poor too

Ireland vs Italy in the U20s is an absolute belter

Just a million miles between the sides when it counted.

Ah well. Tough night.

On to the next one

France absolutely incredible, but there's a lot of Irish lads out there playing well below the level

Six Nations 2026 โ€“ Preview and Predictions The Six Nations is right around the corner โ€“ indeed, earlier than usual, with the tournament kicking off for the first time on a Thursday as Ireland make the daunting trip to Paris for the opโ€ฆ

My preview and predictions for this year's Six Nations: tournament sub-plots, players to watch, and how I think the standings will look when the final whistle blows.

Ooof hard pass, can't stand games he's on.

Ah yeah, but for a lad who was effectively out of position at this level he did well.

For all intents and purposes he's a 12 now at pro level.

He'll not push Harry or Sam at 10 but a more than serviceable 3rd option and fast becoming our form 12

I'd love to think so, but the boys look dog tired at times. We've not seen it click in any meaningful sense this season.

The Lions hangover is real.

It's not without it's merits mind, some young players getting loads of great minutes which are all points in some game down the line

The level of injury as well as post Lions / Ireland duty churn has made any level of consistency and cohesion pretty much impossible

All that being said, second in the table, 11 on the bounce and loads of young talent getting invaluable experience...

You can pick your takeaway I guess

Moloney saved maybe 2 tries, one unreal take on the air and one tap tackle on Duhan, very very tidy

Charlie Tector is very good at rugby. Genuinely one of my favourite players to watch right now
