The coach will have two attempts to break Irish rugby's most infamous glass ceiling, the rugby world cup quarter-final

His impressive form earned him an Ireland call-up for the Six Nations

Fears that Ireland's clubs could finish out season with 'second tier' rugby writes Only One F in Foley

Everybody loves a Six Nations rating and when it comes to Ireland head coach Andy Farrell, we are talking a proper 8/10, maybe even 9/10. Yes, there was a rough start in Paris, but that 36-14 defeat by the French could soon come to be viewed as one of the best results in Irish rugby […]

Andy Farrell's men enjoyed a great night on Saturday evening as they celebrated their Triple Crown triumph.

Whether Ireland should leave out a stand-in player - showing Brian O'Driscoll-esque levels of finishing - on Keenan and Hansen's return is another question.

"We’re expecting a massive game," says Farrell. "They’ve put it to France time and time again which shows the character that’s in them."

France were the only side still with a chance of winning the Grand Slam heading into this weekend, but they came unstuck against Scotland at Murrayfield

"We targeted a fast start, we got the try early, the second one was obviously disallowed, and the nature of the game goes a little bit different there," says Caelan Doris

The sides face off this evening as the penultimate round of the 2026 Guinness Six Nations begins.

The Shamrock Rovers manager was invited to spend the day with the Irish rugby team as they prepared for their famous Twickenham win.
