I don't think Osborne would have started if we had McCloskey/Aki, Ringrose & Keenan, so from his point of view, he's taken his opportunity nicely
Aki had 3 week ban but will probably be our 23 at the weekend. McCloskey has had a near perfect tournament, but there's questions about Ringrose fitness (why Tom Farrell was on Bench).
Henshaw needs to rediscover something so he's better training at Leinster
Nothing says #IrelandWeek like a Welsh Bowler getting in the way of a great Irish get together
They didn't need to say Struggling, but they did.
Copywriting is a skill
#IrelandWeek
Adi Dassler was a big Leinster fan. His brother supported Munster
I can only see
Italy by 2 or
England by 20
I've been told the Welsh fans are passionate rugby supporters, but the was no tourists sightseeing at the greatest stadium in the Northern Hemisphere this morning.
Disappointing from the Welsh
This #IrelandWeek please remember that my culture is not your costume.
Hogg showed Scottish players that they could be selected for a Lions Tour.
Inspiring stuff!
It must be so refreshing for the Welsh players to go out on the hallowed Aviva pitch with nothing to lose.
Ireland have to go out there and win by 20, Wales can go out there and have fun and express themselves.
Completely unfair. World Rugby needs to look into this
#IrelandWeek
The paper of record 🫡
Just had to update the Manchester NYE street meme after seeing that
The #IrelandWeek badge of glory will be out again this year
Has #IrelandWeek started yet, or are the Welsh asleep?
Rugby Royalty
Fin Baxter looks like every private school cliché
I would expect antimicrobial antibiotix to be holding hands in the Women's Antibiotix Nations, but this has no place in the mens game.
#WOKE
Sad to see.
It's been a long time since a Munster fan watched a 6N while not in the Champions Cup. Their season is already over
Ireland Week 2026 just got a little bit spicier 🌶
The Welsh bond is very much with Connacht. And it's same area of the table so you don't have to raise or lower your standards
Big difference between being English & beating the English.
Anyone who supports an English team is no longer allowed use the word Cymru.
You're better than those Saesnegers 🫡
Its really disappointing when players just copy each other.
...and don't try to be the best version of themselves
Is it only people born between 1978 and 1982 who understand the importance of this question?
We will keep the 2 "big" games in the Aviva i think
This iconic pairing of blue jeans and brown shoes is the perfect tribute to rugby fandom. After months of research across the UK and Ireland, in collaboration with leading scientists and fan psychologists, this is the result. Performance wear for rugby spectators.
Was the AGM part of the Christmas celebrations or will there be a third lunch?
It's not like a Welsh man to be unable to lift a cup
We need to win the Irish Shield. It's as important as the URC.
Drop it to 16. Make it all top level
5 Top 14
5 URC
4 Prem
1 From the ChampCup league winner
Challenge Cup winner (or player from their league)
Also allows for a lot more Anglo Welsh games
